And Vinyly, a UK based company, has made it possible to press ashes into vinyl to "keep that record spinning for eternity." The decision to R.I.V. (rest in vinyl) includes such options as choosing ones own tracks or leaving your own minimalist mark by allowing the natural 'cracks' and 'pops', having a cover with name, d.o.b and d.o.d., or having a custom painting of your face done in acrylic mixed with, of course...your own ash.
For the full list of options and price ranges head to And Vinyly's
website.
Now it's time to start planning the soundtrack to your life.
Track one in this girls raveyard.. Tom Petty's 'Zombie Zoo'.

This Innerspace inspired illustration was created by
Elliott Quince for the Smart car
"Out Smart" book project. This is a project where top illustrators get to create their take on this amazing little car that I really want to have, the Smart car. The final website launch will be up next month! There's some really fun designs on that site so
check it out!

Jake and Dinos Chapman are brothers who collaborate on art that frequently deals with questions of sexuality, violence, and what I would call historical re-imaginings. In 2008 they had an exhibition titled "If Hitler Had Been a Hippy How Happy Would We Be", which not only put on display a series of Hitler's watercolors "vandalized" by the brothers, but also nine glass cases filled with miniature figures enacting and enduring atrocious acts. The glass cases, by the way, were arranged in the shape of a swastika.

The Chapman brothers use many mediums in their art, including sculpture and paintings. Before their defacement of Hitler's art the brothers had gained notoriety for doing the same to a set of Goya's prints.

I find a lot of their work simultaneously disturbing and hilarious. I think a lot of the humor comes in the titles of their exhibitions, such as "Explaining Christians to Dinosaurs" and "Bad Art for Bad People." Maybe they figured viewers need to walk into the exhibit with an understanding that this is funny. You cannot tell me that the below is NOT funny.

You can check out more of their work on their
site. I highly recommend checking it out for more anatomically incorrect and original works as well as other paintings and sculptures.
