Drawings Themed Around Bones - No Body Can Rib Us Apart

Bones and skeletons, human or not, are a popular motif featured in many works, lending them a darker undertone. A simple illustration of two people lying side by side may sound romantic... until you realize that one of them is a bona fide skeleton with nothing but empty eye sockets to return your gaze. While some of the imagery may send a chill up our spines, there can be something comforting about being reminded of our mortality: once we turn to dust and bone, nothing will ever get under our skin anymore.

Did you find any of these macabre works humerus, or did they rattle your cage?
