Nice piece of work. I love your idea for illustrating an image as overused as a skull. Pipes? That's quite a good idea. I like your message as well. Overall this is a pretty clean submission and I'm diggin' that :)
Somehow all the varied elements of this piece work quite well together, very original skull style and as others have said, good message! I never thought i'd see a good use of HOPE after last election again.
