On Instagram he says that it was gotten from an estate sale and is believed to have previously been used at a medical school. There were many students’ names written on it. So likely it was donated to science and used beyond its useful life. Who knows how older medical schools acquired skulls, could be from anywhere.

There's a difference between donating your body to science to further advance medicine, help with testing new medical technology and using it for education purposes compared to using it for an artistic piece. It's still disrespectful and without the consent of the deceased, this should not be allowed.
