Damien Hurst Diamond Skull!!!!!



Now this is some shit you do when your bored ,have money and call yourself a modern artist. For some time I thought that Lil' Wayne had some ice but this makes him look like he went to the liquor store for his. Artist Damien Hirst has unveiled this diamond encrusted skull that he gave the name "For the Love of God". With a £50 million price tag he really made Sierra Leon work hard for this one, the skull is covered with 8,601 diamonds and a 52-carat pear-shaped stone is set into the forehead, surrounded by 14 diamonds.

Hirst says For The Love Of God is 'a celebration against death'. The work took 18 months to make and the diamonds, worth £12 million, were paid for by Hirst and the gallery. When you see something like this you want to say thats cool but at the very same time you think damn this world is demented.
