 Thanks for all the great comments and the Posthumous Blue. I did enjoy this one as it touches my romantic heart. I would give a print to my Valentine but the restraining order is still in place for a while yet.

Ha! Use this as your profile photo on Facebook. It's a way of giving folks fair warning... :-)

I'd better post some links about PTSD in anticipation then.

Definitely the acme of OOBieness. I doubt that anyone will ever be this out of the box again!

It was so hard to give this an 8 -- because it really creeps me out! But it's so well done! It probably should have been a 9 or 10.

Oh Clive, you leek-loving nutter. This is just absurdly splendid. And you awarded yourself the Posthumous White too, right on the crotch. Perfect.

This scares me. It really does. I looked up Lupercus and I still don't understand this shot. I tried to get more out of it, but I'm still scared lol

Primal, interesting, disturbing. Not for the usual Hallmark card market. 9.

If someone gave me this for Valentine's Day I'd be very scared.

Woah, creepy. Interesting though.

I like your 2D bold imagery. You made me look for the origin of Valentine's day, so thanks for that too. (not voting)

This image is rather unsettling to me, even though I can see you have some good photoshop skills!!!

Because nothing says "I Love You" like... ^^^ whatever that is. ;-) Way to buck tradition! This will undoubtedly be honored by the posthumous crowd. Probably over-analyzed by the psychology crowd as well. Good luck! :)

What a relief after hearts and chocolates! I quite like them, but at DPC I long for a different approach than the cards one might get at Hallmark. Now, on the subject at hand: Lupercalia was a festival observed in Feb. - a sort of cleansing ritual. Lupercus is god Pan - oh yes, still celebrated in Feb. So you beat around the Valentine's bush! Clever. I would change the head of the shepherd though.
