[BONUS] Win a set of Dan Springer "Roving Eye" glasses!

Super talented artist Dan Springer has kindly offered to give away a set of his extremely limited edition Roving Eye glasses to a Skull-A-Day reader!



This set of four high quality drinking glasses features a cyclops version of Dracula, Frankenstein, a Devil, and of course a Skull. The eyeballs are printed on the reverse so that no matter where you turn it their eye watches you!

To be entered in a random drawing for these fine pieces, you just need to post a comment below with a limerick, or haiku about the One-Eyed Skull or a skull themed drink recipe of your own concoction (non-alcoholic drinks are acceptable).

You may post more than one comment/entry, though your name will only be added once to the drawing. Be sure to use an account that you can be contacted at directly once we determine a winner!

You have one week (until Midnight Eastern Time Sunday, January 11th) to submit an entry. The winner will be announced on Monday the 12th. [UPDATE 1/12] The contest is closed, thanks again to everyone who entered!

And of course you don't have to wait to order a set for yourself (especially considering how few he made), just go HERE to get the details!

There once was a skull so gruesome,
With eye holes not forming a twosome.
While driving he died,
Though the brakes he applied,
He misjudged the distance, and then some!


Cheers!

While sipping a vodka and tonic,
Persephone waxed quite mnemonic:
A Luciferian wink
From her vessel of drink
Brought to mind her experience chthonic.

Mētis meant clever--
but don't tell Polyphemus
who thinks it "no one".

Ancient Greek puns are the best.

Roving eye on skull
Watching me sip my drink
Creeping me out, man!

Vampire, Devil, Skull
And Frankie grinning real wide
Enjoy my party

These look great and would be a big hit at any of my parties. Especially with some Bombay Sapphire or some B&B cognac.

A one eyed skull
Odysseus he would know
to drink wine from it

Oh! One-eyed skull glass
You fill my empty stomach
And my heart as well

in a skull decorated
glass only seems right

It is watching me.
Staring my way from the bar
Drink! The skull says. DRINK!

Take a sip to see.
Hide behind tasty amber.
Looking there at me.

Here's my recipe, I call the drink the Skull banger tequila. You will only need orange juice (1/2l.), lemon juice (1 glass), tequila (1 l.), salt and a little bit of "chile piquín".

Mix all the liquids and pour it on salt and chile piquín decorated little glasses (just like the ones in the picture)

Delicious and hot, I'm sure it would be Ghost's rider favourite ;)

His skulls are totally fly
while one that I drew made me cry
I'll leave it to him
Who's creations are grim
While drinking from Dan Springer's eye

You know where to reach me ;)

Bony lone iris
Head of the mighty Cyclops
Beware of the sheep

Ode To A Wall-eye

Oh glasses monocular,
Your tubular receptacle
Your slickery skin
The nectar within.

Remorse we held
Close to our bosoms
The day the reaper came.

And wept did the children
For no more milk was expected
To cross the soft petals
Of their shrieking mouths

We languish in your demise.

Clear glass, frosty ice
An eyeball in my highball
It is cocktail time

Brandi Sims said...

I once found a skull with one eye
And said, "Oh, cyclops has died"
But I'm no CSI
I'm just a dumb guy
It's just glasses with paint on the side

Brandi Sims said...

I love these glasses
They would freak out our neighbors
At the next cook out

Chi said...

A Stare. No Blinking
No stereo dreams for him
With only the one wide eye

The Roving Eye
1 part hazelnut vodka
1 part cherry heering
1/2 part campari

if you are brave, it's a shot
if you are meek, it's in a rocks glass topped with club soda

Ragnar said...

In skulls we are now well supplied

We have three hundred and sixty five

There's no shadow of doubt

We will never run out

Skull-a-Day for the rest of our lives.


and a recipe:

In a large vessel mix the essence of the cacao bean with honey orange peels, chili peppers and the bark of the cinnamon tree. Leave in a warm place until fermentation has stopped, strain through a mat of rush leaves and drink the resulting liquor from the skull of a defeated enemy. You will be mighty in battle and your foes will tremble before you.
