Ok folks, I was correct, this was not related to Django at all and for that I apologize.

For any readers who use skelJS…

After beautifying/de-minimizing the code, look for:

newStyleSheet: function (a) {
    var c = document.createElement("link");
    c.rel = "stylesheet";
    c.type = "text/css";
    c.href = a;
    return c
},

Then, replace c.href = a; with c.href = "/static/" + a; where “/static/” is your STATIC_URL defined in settings.py.

Use relative paths to your images. They are relative to where the css file lives. So, if a background-image declaration in STATIC_ROOT/css/style.css needs to reference bg02.jpg in STATIC_ROOT/images/bg02.jpg it should be declared like background-image: url(../images/bg02.jpg)
