Charcoal on Tree Stump (approx. 3ft x 3ft). The bark had been falling off a large old tree near my house for a while so the city came by the other day and cut it down. The white underneath the charcoal is a large "D" that they spray painted on it, I'm not sure what it means, anyone know?

207. Stump(ed) Skull
Charcoal on Tree Stump (approx. 3ft x 3ft). The bark had been falling off a large old tree near my house for a while so the city came by the other day and cut it down. The white underneath the charcoal is a large "D" that they spray painted on it, I'm not sure what it means, anyone know?
Maybe the D stands for dead? You know how bureaucracy goes - nothing's official until it's stamped or somehow legitimised by tons of paperwork.
ReplyDeleteWeird note: if you crop the image a little at the top, the sidewalk will form a cross in the background. Even with that, I doubt my mother would like the picture. I'll send her a link and check ;)
Happy Skullidays!
The Huckster has everyone looking for subliminal crosses now!
ReplyDelete"D" for diseased?
ReplyDeleteDo not draw a skull on this stump! (they know where you live)
ReplyDeleteI love it. I would lve to see the looks on their faces when the crew returns to grind that stump up :D
ReplyDeleteD for 'done'?
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see someone take an ugly old stump and turn it into a deathly work of art. Maye D stands for Dig up. They may come back later to grind it up and dig it out of the ground. Your skull is a memorial to the loss of a living organism. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteDead? Done? D did it?
ReplyDeleted for "dutch elm"?
