You know what's non-conformist? Graffitiing rebellious phrases in the dressing room of Urban Outfitters. Haven't you ever felt the need to lash out while shopping for faux-vintage tees and accessories? I will say I have not.

It seems after scribbling a defiant blurb on a corporate wall, a feeling of 'why the fuck am I in the dressing room if I don't like it so much' would fall over oneself. Something like 'I'm so gay I graffiti about clothes.' 

But I don't know. Haven't really thought about it much.

It has the look of death. It smells like you should eat it. It comes in pink. It can only be called: the Sexy Skull.

The legendary godfather of all things grippy and waxy, Mr. Zog, and a couple artists from Santa Barbara known as the Anderson Brothers have spent some time in the lab designing, molding, and creating a surf wax sculpture:

What happens when contemporary art meets surfboard wax? Avid surfers and contemporary artists Sean Anderson and Benjamin Anderson in collaboration with Zog’s Sex Wax have made the magic happen. With a nod from Mr. Zog, the duo has created a series of multicolored wax sculptures, constructed completely out of surfboard wax. Art collectors and surfers, meet Sexy Skull.

Sexy Skulls will be released at the opening of Rogue Wave, a contemporary survey of surf art on the 27th of June at the Anderson Art Collective (Santa Barbara). Seven limited editions of the skull will be available, each adhering to Zog’s world famous scents and colors. “We are very excited to merge an icon of surf culture with the contemporary art world … and make it smell good,” said the Anderson Brothers.

If you want to pick yourself up a Sexy Skull head on over to the Anderson Brothers website for more info.
