A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

ModBlog culture influencing YouTube culture?

So ModBlog’s “Skullboy” as he’s come to be known out on the weeb, has tribute videos out about him on YouTube! I thought that was pretty cool, and just goes to show you how fascinated people are by what he’s done (note: the video’s best part is near the end, so don’t give up).

And a second video as well:

    I was a bit skeptical about how well she was going to have imitated his tattoo, but it actually turned out to be a really good job.

    The song is from a Beck remix album (duh). From what I have its called “Hell Yes Remix EP. Dunno if Shannon minds links but info can be found here: http://www.discogs.com/release/403691
    Hope that helps everyone who is going to ask and everyone who asked!

    Ps. Thanks for posting that video, it was awesome!

    The backwards effect makes it look, to me, like she’s removing her skin face to reveal the skull face beneath, especially at the “teeth sweep.” Very cool.

    It took me until about the last few seconds to realize that it was actually backwards. At first I thought it had really, really good special effects.

  21. Lisa Avatar

    She got the tattoo pretty spot on. Backwards effect was awesome.

  22. zusanna Avatar

    Took me until about the middle to realize it had to be backwards video, too.

    The makeup job is excellent though, she gets it looking just right!

    shes REALLY good at doing that herself and making it look GOOD

    man i prefer the second video’s capacity to showcase her abilities, to the first video’s sheer disturbing nature!

    damn!

    skullboy marches on!

    Oh she’s amazing with her makeup. I can’t stop watching the vidoes, it’s just amazing how well she duplicates the tattoo.

    MAY BE SKULLBOY SHOULD HAVE ASKED HER TO DO HIS FACE, SHE DID A BETTER JOB. I THINK SHE IS WICKED FUNNY AND AWAESOME IN HER MAKE UP SKILLS

  35. Leroy Avatar

    I think someone left the italics open…

    I’ll be honest, I thought Skullboy was cool. But she scares me a little.

    Wow, that’s cool as hell! What made her decided to do this I wonder?

    And how is that interview coming along Shannon???

  39. L1ZZARD Avatar

    She is such a talented artist. I looked at some more of her stuff… stunning work.

    I feel so bad for all the terrible comments that “skull boy” recieved in his debut…

    People are so mean…

  40. albeans Avatar

    that’s pretty damn cool. I usually don’t watch the videos posted on here.

  41. Sarah Avatar

    that’s fantastic!
    she did that really well.

    also, i just downloaded the beck remix ^_^

    i like the 2nd song too i wish i knew what it was.

    haha, those were awesome.

    am i the only one who thinks she’s really cute when she smiles?

    She is such an excellent artist. I couldn’t figure out how she did the first video because she kept using clean rags. Watching the second video was key.

  44. Giles Wallwork Avatar

    She is extremely talented, especially as it seemed she did the whole thing immediately with no mistakes.

    Have just checked out the Skullboy thread with 600 responses, some of them are just plain baffling.

    “He needs Jesus in his life”.

    WTF….

  45. AshleyM Avatar

    Fantastic! After the comments to the original post got so nasty and mean-spirited, it’s refreshing to see these videos. (Not to mention, I totally concur with everyone above who complimented her makeup skills!)
