[NEWS] Skull-A-Day App Announcement! (April Fools 2014)

I'm very excited to finally reveal our latest project: the Skull-A-Day: Skullify Me app for smart phones!

For the last year, in partnership with our friend Wenchkin AKA Carolyn Curtis we've been secretly developing the perfect app for lovers of skulls – and in a few more months it will finally be in your favorite app store for download!

The app's simple function is to take any photo of a person and transform it into a sugar skull style illustration, based on a revolutionary intuitive custom art algorithm. The resulting image can then be shared on your favorite social media platform such as Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Myspace, and Friendster.

The reason we're unveiling it now, before it's officially available is to give you the Skull-A-Day fans a chance to add your input and have a say in the final product! Would you use this app? How much would you pay for it? What features should we add? Please take a moment and let us know what you think in the comments section. And we'll let you know as soon as the app is available!

[UPDATE] APRIL FOOLS! Sorry there's no app that can create the amazing artwork of Wenchkin automatically, but if you're nice to her she might make one of these by hand for you! 

Skull-A-Day News: Mascot! (April Fool's 2010)

Hey folks I'm very excited to announce that we've decided to create a costumed Skull-A-Day mascot for year 4 of the project!

Above is a concept sketch for the costume that is just in the preliminary stages of being built. We've even lined up an initial schedule of events where we would like our mascot to appear and promote the Skull-A-Day project throughout our fourth year:

PurpleHull Pea Festival June 25-25, Emerson, AR
The Great Texas Mosquito Festival June 29-31, Clute, TX
BlobFest July 9-11 Phoenixville, PA
Mondo Croquet World Championships July 25, Portland, OR

Hillbilly Days April 15-17, 2011, Pikeville, KY

And many more to come!

So this is where you come in: We need a name for this fellow! So leave your suggestion in a comment below and the winner will be chosen at random from all of the entries at midnight tonight.

Oh and here's the best part, the winner will also get to wear the costume at the events!**

A special thanks should go out to our own Citizen Agent for this fantastic suggestion!

**Please note that since Skull-A-Day has no ads or sponsors, so you will need to provide for your own transportation to, and lodging at, all locations. 

[UPDATE 4/2] APRIL FOOLS!

HOWEVER, after talking with my friend Paul at Dude Craft it looks like we might be making this costume for real later this summer! There definitely aren't any plans to attend the above events though, but who knows where this fellow might show up! More details to come.
