"Ryan August memorial skllbud auction...

It is with great sadness that I have to announce this... one of our own has fallen at a young age. Ryan August, operator of the fantastic website I Want Your Skull had a tragic car accident last Saturday, that unfortunately took his life. Ryan was an amazing individual and had nothing but support for the art scene, and he made such an impact on so many people!

Ferg of Jamungo was one of the many people Ryan made an impact on and as a way of raising some funds for Ryan's family, he created the awesome custom skllbud with Brian Morris where 100% of the proceeds from this sale/auction will be going to them. The piece is flat black over candy-apple red using a Brian Morris designed skllbud as the base. All you need to do is go over to: http://jamungo.forumn.net/art-and-artists-f13/ryan-august-skllbud-t1581.htm and place a bid in the forum, which will end this Friday! Also, they are accepting donations through paypal via ryanaugustdonation@gmail.com. R.I.P. Ryan, you will be missed!"

God bless his family, I did not know him but from what I see he was a great guy who was well loved. Please send a donation to the family if at all possible.
