shot through the brain

Everyone knows the brain is the seat of the emotions, not the heart. Where can I find an illustration of a brain with an arrow through it?
NOT a real brain! I've seen an X-ray already and it's too disturbing!

Response by poster: I'm looking for an illustration of a brain rather than a photo of a head. Thanks for the effort, though. :-)

You mean in the style of Cupid's arrow, right? (just to be clear)

I like your version. If you turn the brain head on (so to speak), the two lobes even suggest the classic cartoon heart shape.

Just to belabor the obvious, in the traditional valentine drawing of an arrow through a heart:
that's not a heart, and that's not an arrow.

I'll have a go at drawing this if I get a chance tomorrow.
Are you thinking of a simple, flat colour, cartoony style drawing? Like you see on a lot of t-shirts these days?

What do you mean? Is it a euphamism? I'm very curious!

Here's a quick attempt with a version from the front and from the side.

Pomo:
It sure gives a couple of interesting interpretations to the arrow through the brain image.

I suspect that is not what you are looking for.
