247. Valentine's Skull

Acrylic on Cut Chocolate Box. I realize this is a little early, but on a daily project you gotta do whatever inspires you in the moment and the moment I saw this in the store I knew what had to be done.

Since there's time I'll go ahead and make a downloadable PDF of this as a DIY valentine card! But I need a message to go on it. Submit your suggestions in the comments section and the winning one will get a special limited edition Skull-A-Day print as a prize! I'll choose the winner on Sunday.

  1. How about "I just love you to death."

    That's an AWESOME image, by the way.

  8. "And even you will come to this,
    This horrible decay,
    Star of my eyes, my spirit's light,
    My angel and my passion!

    Yes! even you, oh queen of grace,
    When sacraments are done,
    Shall rest beneath the growing grass,
    Just one more skeleton."

    -Charles Baudelaire, Carrion

  10. Death's eternal embrace cannot begin to know how long I will love you.

    The passion in my heart will outlast the flesh, the bone, the skull."

  18. An everlasting gaze from deep in my soul will always be kept on your heart. Even in death will my love come to you, with the sight of every passing skull, to remind you of my eternal pledge.

    A Valentine's day Haiku

    Red heart stained with blood,
    Love pouring forth like a flood,
    Be Mine, FOREVER!

    ---OR---

    The guys from Slayer express true ?love? best in the song "Captor Of Sin"

    Harlots Of Hell Spread Your Wings
    As I Penetrate Your Soul
    Feel The Fire Shoot Through Your Body
    As I Slip Into Your Throne
    Cast Aside, Do As You Will
    I Care Not How You Plead
    Satan's Child Now Stalks The Earth
    Born From My Demon Seed

    ---------------------------
    I can only hope that my real sentimental contributions will be given the best consideration since they are from the heart.

    Now.....Someone smack me out of this state of mind! Back to the METAL!

  20. Not a true submission, (not mine to submit) but first thing I thought was
    Candy is dandy, but sex won't rot your teeth

    ReplyDelete
  21. Roses are red.
    So is your blood.
    You will turn blue
    When I choke you.

  22. Haha Slayer are awesome but uhmmm...

    ACTUALLY when I was about 15, a guy sent me a bunch of roses and card with some Rollins lyrics. I wish I could remember the song... But it was actually kind of creepy, particularly since he sent it to me anonymously. (I eventually figured out who it was from, and awkwardness and other shenanigans ensued! Good times!)

  23. I still check this first thing every morning, and they have all been fun. This one is too cool not to inspire a whole series of these. I know for sure my wife is getting one from me. I will send you the results. Very very good idea.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Great suggestions everyone! Keep 'em coming, you've still got a few days.

    Big: I can't wait to see what you make!

  25. "Love me or I will kill you." That's my entry, pretty clever, eh? *sigh*

    The backstory for my entry is that the person giving the box is a sociopath who doesn't feel, empathize or love, but really wants to be a part of the Valentine's Day experience. I've done a little research and most psychopaths, which includes sociopaths, don't have a high degree of creativity, but often have a high degree of logic. Therefore, my sociopath puts his feelings in very straightforward words. The End. I'm a moron.

    I think the most appropriate comment is from daintykitty: Death by chocolate. Although it isn't romantic or valentine-y.
