‘August 20, 2022 Souvenir Skull’ By DrainedEye
Created By Jason Sanders

I made this during the last day of my 3 day stay in the Hospital (Aug 20, 2022). I had gone in because I thought I was having a heart attack. I had chest pain, pain in between my shoulder blades, and I couldn’t breathe. Turns out I had multiple pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. They were strangling my heart and I’m lucky to be alive and grateful that I decided to go immediately instead of waiting.

This physical collage piece consists of the following:
Background - Hospital Gown
Crown of Head - Lid for Hot Plate food container inlaid with napkins and paper towel.
Eyes - half cans of Shasta Cola
Nose - Pulse Oximeter
Cheeks - Foil lid for cherry water ice cut in half.
Outline of Cheeks and Jaw of Skull - Rubber Band Tourniquets.
Teeth - Heart Monitor Electrodes
Signature Piece - Aluminum lined interior of electrode packaging signed with paint pen.

Limited Edition of 7 on Ethereum

Skull NFTs. My name is Jason Sanders. I go by DrainedEye online. DrainedEye is an independently owned & operated artist gallery/brand. My artwork is strongly fine art focused. This Skull Collection is my first experience with Digital Art & NFT's. I love the energy of the NFT Community & I want to thank you for spending time with my work.

I know I'm not the first to explore this subject matter & I'm a big fan of those who've been focused on 💀 NFT's before I arrived here. I want to personally thank Eddie Gangland for breaking ground & encouraging me and probably thousands of other artists to learn about the NFT space.

I don't talk about it a lot, but I have a bone condition called Multiple Hereditary Exostoses. This condition causes bone tumors to grow near your growth plates. These large bone masses can be quite painful as they distort the muscles & tendons that have to work around them. Due to this condition, Skulls have been an important part of my work for years.
