I was able to identify more from the first picture than the second. Both are very cool! I wonder if I should really show my geekiness and set these as my desktop pictures so my co-workers can enjoy them?!

Very cool.

I can ID almost all of the first one and about half the second one. (Some of these I even stumped you all with back when we used the do the "guess the TV show" game).

Who are the guys in the skeleton paint, tho? Any ideas?

I didn't know either. The artist described them as from "Danger Island" but I have no idea from where that comes. Maybe one of old Sid & Marty Krofft shows?

Yep, Danger Island, 1968. From Wikipedia:
Intended as a live-action version of the animated Hanna-Barbera series Jonny Quest, Danger Island centered around the adventures of a trio of explorers in an unnamed tropical island group. Prof. Irwin Hayden, an archaeologist; Lincoln "Link" Simmons, the professor's youthful assistant; and Leslie, the professor's daughter, who serves as both a love interest for Link and the series' token damsel-in-distress.
Several years earlier, the professor's brother (also an archaeologist) disappeared in the same island chain while searching for the mythical lost city of Tobanya. They are joined on their quest by Morgan, a shipwrecked merchant mariner, and his teenage sidekick Chongo, who speaks only in a series of monkey-like chatters and birdcalls. Pursued by both a group of bumbling, but heavily armed modern-day pirates led by the murderous Captain Mu-Tan, as well as three tribes of cannibalistic natives known as the Headhunters, the Skeleton Men and the Ash Men. The show spawned the popular catchphrase "Uh-oh, Chongo!" among children of that time.

Ah.. that explains that. Before my time and apparently not often reran. Never saw or heard of it till this.
I think they were the only ones I couldn't place.. Them and the guy on the far left with the rope.
I'd have to dig up the original and check that one.
