When I was little, my brother used to argue with me because I would use the term 'dead skeletons' - he would say, "skeletons are always dead", to which I would imperiously argue, "no, they are alive in your body".  .  . 

My dead skeletons project is just a study of what I view as life's great equalizer.  Even 'dead' they have such life, expression and when animated, such puppet-like movement that I love to try and capture in print.
