Skinner Dead Folk Arcana Print Set Release Details

Skinner is set to release an insane collection of prints next week, it's best he describes the set:

In spending many late nights focused quietly on the weirdness of old books, comics and strange tomes of bestial lore, I find myself drawing these images as the world rests...uninterrupted and relaxed...Only the occasional sound of soft cat steps and muffled hobo arguments to add to the mood...these times drawing in the last couple months reminded me of when I was a teenager staying up late listening to depressing music and Looking at Fiend Folios and sketching mindflayers.. Moments of quiet reflection are fleeting in the adult world i live in now and it makes the times I get to draw that much better..I am putting out this 5 print set of Nostalgic beasts, demons and crawlers unknown, Inspired by the obscure art books I have collected as a small special print set celebrating weirdness,monsters and psychedelic art...only 30 sets of 5 silk screened mini prints ( 8.5 X 11) and a pair of chroma depth glasses to go with them. I wanted this to be a really special and limited set of detailed multi color prints that people could afford..one of the prints is even 6 colors! These prints would sell individually for $40! but you get five of them for $120! The Official Print cover tells you which of the run of the " Journey Of The Unmind- Dead Folk Arcana" prints you got! They come with a protective folio cover emblazoned with the Critical Hit seal of quality!!! Printed by the one and only Curtis Readel! The same guy that printed my Space Biker and Ghoul King prints! This is a really cool collection of weirdness, sure to please your warped inner freak! There are only 30 available, They will not be reprinted!

They go on sale on Friday September 27th at Noon!

Skinner on the design of the poster:

I made these as a visual transport back to those psyche fueled days of old...Black lite posters! Heavy Metal! Reading old comics and smoking weed behind the bleachers at school...The 70's nostalgia of the past..I knew my buddy Curtis Readel could give these the treatment I wanted on them..So that when you hold them in your hands, they vibrate with energy and have a weight that demands attention..8 colors is alot for one man to take on and he did it! This was a challenging project for him but He pulled it off beautifully! The chroma depth glasses only add to the experience by offering another dimension through which to view this monstrous print!
