For its first year the site consisted of daily skull art creations made by Noah as well as weekly submissions by fans of the project.
After Noah finished his project, he has continued to post daily images of skulls created by fans to the site.
Many times the finished pieces were offered as free downloads to the community including two original fonts (Skullphabet 1 & 2), a papercraft model skull, a paint-by-numbers, a crossword puzzle, and several stencils all of which are Creative Commons licensed.
[3] To celebrate the start of the 5th year, June 4, 2011, has been designated by the editors of the site to be the first annual international Skull Appreciation Day.
Within the first few months of its creation Skull-A-Day was featured in a variety of major online media including BoingBoing,[5] Make,[6] Craft,[7] Neatorama,[8] TheAtlantic.com,[9] USA Today's Pop Candy Blog[10] and was chosen as a Yahoo!
[13] On October 4, 2007, Etsy’s online magazine The Storque featured Noah making a large lace skull (#109) in their offices.
[16] Print media have also given attention to the project including articles in the Richmond Times-Dispatch, FHM Germany, Step Magazine, Penthouse, Girls and Corpses, and Make.
