THE ORIGINE of THE LARGE EVIL SKULL RING

Well. I ve been drawing since my early school days.

usually during classes.All of these doodles were done on scraps
of paper , at the time I was really into COMIX,
I drew a lot of skulls, monsters, animals, cartoons, superheroes,
famous musicians.At the time it was just messing around,
I have kept many of these schoolday sketches, ill be posting some
later on for the fun of it.
Anyway, once in London I managerd  THE CHICAGO PIZZA PIE
FACTORY and later on GRUNTS restaurants  in Covent garden,
It was there that I started sketching what would become
the world famous EVIL SKULL RING.
My original idea was a skull with horns and vampire fangs
but this was not practical as a ring,
The bottom jaw was not suited to my design idea either
( shown here are skulls with and without bottom jaw)
You might notice that these early sketches are dated 1981 & 1983
last page shows the final idea .My very first EVIL SKULL RING
was on my finger on the 24th of NOV 1983.
Often copied never equalled.

SKULL RING in CLASSIC ROCK magazine APRIL 2011

CLASSIC ROCK , April issue features a full page advert for

CRAZY PIG DESIGNS

and a small feature title:SHARP DRESSED MAN.

The article showcases our world famous skull ring: GALLOWS.

I originaly designed the ring to be just a skull ring with

a full face hood like a medieval gallows man, but soon realised the full face

mask would pretty much hide the whole skull, and the result would

have been disappointing.

So I decided to make a skull ring and a separate mask ring that would

fit perfectly over the skull ring. so you have in fact a set of two separaterings.

The result was the GALLOWS ring (the  name is inspired by one

of my favourites LED ZEPPELIN tracks " GALLOWS POLE")

The ring shown in the magazine has been customised with real rubies set

in the eyes.Others have been made with Gold masks and silver skulls

or in reverse.Satin or high polish finishes are also extra options

to make the GALLOWS skull ring a real showpiece.
