    MY HAND CARVED CRYSTAL SKULLS
    THE STONEHENGE SKULL Life Size, 10.5lbs a one off a kind!!! Hand carved from Sarson stone removed from the STONEHENGE sacred site in 1958. A one of a kind creation, needing no introduction. This is my sole creation. The skull is currently on tour with the Ghost Dance. For more information contact me He will be in the Pandemonium exhibition in summer 2008.
    THE SEDONA CRYSTAL SKULL He is life size and is carved from quartz crystal originating from the sacred red rocks of Sedona AZ. He is full of the energy of this most magical place on Mother Earth. The skull is known simply as Sedona and he has helped many people who have come into contact with him [ with mystical healing experiences] I personally believe that he is very powerful because of the metaphysical properties of the Sedona quartz. He revisited the heartbeat of Sedona in 2000 for the crystal skull convention . Sedona has been initiated at all the major sacred sites in the UK and in Europe. He is currently living with me in the heartland of England. He will be in the pandemonium exhibition in summer 2008
    THE ROSE QUARTZ CRYSTAL SKULL. 2 x human size, the Crystal Skull, was hand sculpted from a 37kg block of natural rose quartz, which was shipped to my studio from Brazil. The quartz selected for this sculpture is over 50 million years old. Quartz crystal is used in the electronics industry, to make computer chips. It has exceptional qualities. Many ancient cultures and indigenous peoples believe in its magical and healing powers. I had mystical time while sculpting this skull. The skull took me 2 years to complete. Quartz crystal has a hardness of 6 to 7; the only substance harder being a diamond, which has a hardness of 7. I used special hand held diamond tools in the creative process of all my skulls. The sculpting [ or "birthing" as I like to call it ] takes love, time and patience. I compare it to Mother Nature's process of creating a beautifully smooth pebble on a beach. The ancient Artisans are said to have taken lifetimes to create one sculpture in quartz. I feel they worked in this medium because of its natural beauty and its magical-mystical properties, and also because their creative work would still be there for people to see and enjoy 50 million years on. There are few materials an artist can use that will stand this test of time, i'm inspired by the notion that this skull will still be here for whoever to enjoy when we are all gone!!!!

About me:

EXHIBITION IN AMSTERDAM
Sculpture "Homage" made by Ruben Marcos with assistant Tash from my painting "Homage"
EXHIBITION IN LONDON I am blowing your fiddle in a stove pipe hat/ Bring me a feast for fools/ And set the trickster free/ I want to hear colours, see sound/ And turn the whole fucking thing upside down/. So enslave the muse/ Hang the judge/ Rip the veil from lovers/ Let Geisha dance her flamenco to the wheel of industry’s music/ Let stone be more precious than flesh/ And doves rip meat from bone/ Dark gods can drink tea, and read the FT/ Kings can ride in carousels/ And the horned god will piss on the cross/ For today is Saturnalia/ I am Misrule in a stove pipe hat/ I rule the world/ S.V.Mitchell 2009

BIO. I am a self taught artist. All my life I’ve loved to draw, paint or create. I remember when I was 18 seeing a friend's new tattoo. Immediately I knew that this was the genre I wanted to work in. So 1987 I apprenticed as a tattoo artist. My mission as a tattoo artist, was to use my artistic skills to help clients express their inner visions on their skin, and mark their rites of passage in a time honoured way. I owned and ran a tattoo studio for many years. In this time I met many fantastic people, who in turn enriched my life experiences; it was very fulfilling to share in this holistic, shamanic experience with them. Towards the late nineties there were new missions growing deep inside of me that I felt compelled to express, but they were outside of the tattoo genre. So in 1999 I stopped tattooing. I then visited the USA and Canada. While in the USA, I spent time with the Navajo and Hopi tribes. Whilst in Canada I lived and worked with the Huron [Mohawk/Mohican] tribe on their reserve. I feel privileged to have been embraced by these people, some of whose traditions, craft skills and mystical healing arts I now incorporate into my art and my life today. This intern was the catalyst for my mission of carving the crystal skulls [The Sedona Crystal Skull, The Stonehenge Skull, and the Rose Quartz Crystal Skull], and then moving on to my visionary paintings. I am inspired by the unseen, the mystical. When I am painting I go to a different world; a dark and symbolic world. Painting is the medium I feel is best suited to share these visions with you. Now I dedicate my time to painting. I’m now working towards my next solo show in London 2009 A selection of my original paintings and sculpture are on exhibition at Sacred Symbols fine art gallery, LTD edition fine art prints are offered for sale to collectors.

    Hails! Thanks for the comment with the painting. I actually have that particular painting on my mind many times a day. :-)

    Its a real "hit" lol

    Seriously though, its an amazing painting. Everytime i see your paintings i kinda feel the want to paint bigger than i do, and to maybe use some more time on each particular work.

    Its so massively inspiring (for me) to see.

    AUM! IA!

    HAils and a wonderful Sun day to you and yours!
