Hey y’all!✌️Sorry for not posting in a while! We just realized that we had shared this on Instagram but not on Facebook. This is so hard for us to write, but unfortunately we had to close our beloved shop at ‪623 St. Peter st.‬😵😵Like so many businesses around the country, this pandemic has affected us in ways that we never could have imagined.
💀🌴
Closing the shop was the absolute last thing we thought would happen as this pandemic began, but we have come to the conclusion that the only way for Skull Paradise to survive, is to give up the St Peter street shop. But this is not the end!💀We will be back, that we can promise!
💀🌴
We wanted to thank each and every one of you for your continued support over the years! Ten years ago, we started with one little table of paper mache skulls at the French Market. We could have never imagined that one little table would one day lead us to having our own shop in the French Quarter. And NONE of this would be possible without Y'ALL!💓💓💓
💀🌴
Sometimes hard decisions have to be made as a business owner and that goes twofold during pandemics.😉😉 Until we have a new shop, you can always find our fully stocked booths and 👌⚡️👌
💀🌴
We will also be returning to our roots, once things simmer down here, selling art on the street at Pirates Alley! We are really looking forward to making more one of a kind pieces and original art. In the coming months, we will also be transforming our brick and mortar store into an online shop 💀💀and we will keep you updated!
💀🌴
Most importantly, and we mean absolutely the most important thing, support those cool mom and pop shops and independent retailers that you love in your city. Because, as we have learned the hard way, small businesses are up against incredible odds right now!❤️💀Also please be kind💓 ...(and wear a mask!😷)
💀🌴
We love you all, stay safe and we cannot wait to see your smiling faces again.
Lots of love ❤️
Skull Paradise

Hey y’all we have decided to close the shop for the time being. The spread of Covid 19 in New Orleans is a real problem. Out of respect for our community we feel it’s important to do our part to slow the spread of the virus before more people are infected. Please if you can, do your part as well by practicing social distancing and staying home if possible! The sooner we all get on board, the sooner we all get to go out and have fun again!
Our online shop is still open and all art prints are on sale. There is a link in our bio if you want to check it out.
Stay safe everyone! We will keep you updated!💀🌴 -Shawna & Jon

Gloomy days are for walks in the cemetery....⚰️🌧💀🖤
These photos are from this morning at Hebrew Rest #1 Cemetery in the Gentilly neighborhood. There are three sections comprising the largest Jewish Cemetery in New Orleans. #1 is the oldest part and was founded in 1860. Thanks for taking a 👀 and enjoy this gloomy day!.
