Frosted Birthday Cake. So yes, today is my birthday and I made my own cake (OK I decorated a cake made by a local grocery store famous for its cakes)! At one point I considered making a fondant covered, sculpted cake from scratch, but then realized I didn't want to spend my entire birthday making a skull! That said, this still took around 4 hours to make/photograph. The cake will be eaten by my family tonight and I will of course post some documentation afterwards. I'm sorry I can't share a piece with all of you out there, but I hope you know how much I appreciate the support and encouragement I've been given over the past year. It's been an incredible roller coaster ride and I couldn't have made it through with out you all. And don't worry the site won't disappear at midnight tonight. So tune in tomorrow for the beginning of Skull-A-Day 2.0 and see what happens.

Happy Birthday! And thanks for sharing your wonderful talents with the world. It has been great fun looking at this site every day and I look forward to 2.0.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday - got introduced to skulladay at #27 the skoon and have been looking forward to all the new installments ever since. Thank you for the year (and more!) in skulls.
ReplyDeleteHBD!
ReplyDeleteAlso, thank you for the site, it was a very inspiring project. I've been on board since skull #37.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH!
ReplyDeletegah i can't believe its been 365 days but i found a bit of a flaw...this year is/was a leap year you owe us skull 366. lol can't wait to see skulls 2.o style
also an idea, i work in the dairy department at my local grocery store and i've noticed the empty crates range in color (black gray and some red) and they easily stack 8 high, *cough* 8x8 skull
Happy Birthday - and thank you for sharing all of your adventures in skull-ing!

ReplyDeleteI've been checking skull-a-day everyday since last August or September, and have been amazed at what you can make a skull out of!
ReplyDeleteI look forward also, to what 2.0 will bring.
Many thanks for sharing your talent with us, and may your successes continue.
Super duper Happy Birthday wishes to you, Noah! Thank you for sharing your creations with us - often including your readers/fans and friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you in advance for Skull-a-Day 2.0 =)
PARTY!!
i can't believe it's "over"...! Thanks for all the inspiration, Noah. You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteI first found this blog way, way too late, on Skull #233, Dirt Skull (for Jackie), which is still one of my favorites. i had just lost a friend, and it was very poignant for me.
Anyway, it's been a fun ride. Happy birthday, and thanks again! (Looking forward to version 2.0 as well... and i fiercely second someone's Leap Year remark!! Ahem.)
happy birthday, can't believe I've been watching this daily for a year, but I enjoyed every single post. Can't wait to see where the new skull year takes us.
ReplyDeletehappy birthday and congrats. i've been enjoying your work most of this year and never commented... so it's about time.
ReplyDeletelooking forward to 2.0...
Happy birthday and congratulations on making it through the year!
ReplyDeleteYour posts have been very inspirational... I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of v 2.0.
Happy Birthday! Great job! Looking forward to 2.0! It's been absolutely inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!! I've been following along (and even submitted some skulls back in Oct) but don't comment much... It really has been great seeing all of your skulls! thank you for sharing them with us
ReplyDeleteIts my B-day too! Happity one to you!
ReplyDeleteCant wait for 2.0!
Happy Birthday, Noah! I got here from Neatorama, the veggie skull. It's been marvelous seeing what the creativity of one person can spawn. Every skull unique, made (or spotted) out of love. You did (and will continue to do with Skull-A-Day 2.0) great things for artists, bloggers, and skull lovers. What a lovely brain you're housing in your skull!

ReplyDeleteHappy C-Day to you.
This feels like the bad icebreaker game from my support group.
Hi my name is C and I have been skull-a-daying (coined a new action verb there) since Number 3 which coincidentally is what number "C" is in the alphabet. HUMMM?
My favorite skull by default is Number 32 . Come one you didn't C that coming?
I know I have been slacking on my comments recently, but let me refresh your memory to the comment section of Number 300 . Looks like a cyber contract to me.
Thanks for the memor-Cs.
Happy Birthday Noah! And congratulations for making it through!
ReplyDeleteI'll be checking to see what you'll come up next!
