# Macabre Floral Print Skulls Dan Elborne Creates 'Skull & Bullets' for the Store THRILLS By Mesel Isaac | Published 2014-02-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dan-elborne References: [stupiddope](http://stupiddope.com/2014/02/03/skull-bullets-porcelain-series-by-thrills-x-dan-elborne/) & [thrills.co](http://www.thrills.co/collections/accessories-1) Teaming up with Australian artist Dan Elborne, the store THRILLS has made available for sale a porcelain series entitled 'Skull & Bullets.' Dan Elborne's work is meant to explore the difference between beauty and the horrors of war, and this is reflected in Elbrne's juxtaposition of the beauty of porcelain against the skulls and bullets he makes with the medium. This theme is again referenced by the [scorpion lurking](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scorpion-the-frog) within the [pretty floral artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kill-them-with-kindness), which adorns the skulls and bullets. The skulls are a continuation of Elborne's series 'Human Condition' and the bullets are "five round stripper clips featuring individually slip cast porcelain .303 bullets." With Dan Elborne's work having only a limited supply, expect them to disappear quickly! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Macabre Floral Prints:** Exploring the contrast between beauty and darkness through floral design. - **Porcelain Art:** Using porcelain as a medium to create unique and thought-provoking artwork. - **Limited Edition Collectibles:** Creating a sense of urgency and exclusivity through limited supply. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists to push the boundaries and challenge traditional artistic mediums. - **Home Decor:** Incorporating unique and unconventional pieces into interior design. - **Collectibles and Memorabilia:** Catering to the demand for limited edition and highly sought-after items. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Americana Subculture-Themed Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bullet-proof.md) - [Vibrant Graphic Basketballs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragon-skull-basketball.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Artist-Designed Collectible Dining Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/killer-napkins.md) - [Psychedelic Flower Print Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychedelic-flower-print-chairs.md) - [Sin-Inspired Artful Plates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sinful-feast.md) - [Ceramic Collaborative Glazed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-arhoj-shape.md) - [Bone Powder-Made Home Fixtures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/souhaib-ghanmi.md) - [Sex-Positive Art Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carne-bollente-3.md)
