bunnyscoop asked: Wow! Your ask page is fantastic! Anyway, I just got my copy of Lupercalia the other day, and looked through the CD booklet. What is your input on why he decided to smear the painted heart all over his face? It looks like he was in a car wreck! :( But maybe it symbolized, I don't know, smearing "love" all over himself? What do you think?

It’s part of the album artwork shot by John Lindquist. The color red has several connotations but is often associated with both love and passion which are two feelings clearly expressed on Lupercalia.
