The David Herbert sculptures of American pop culture icons are bloody. It is quite horrifying looking at the head of President Lincoln with his eyes coming out of his sockets.
These David Herbert sculptures include the head of what seems to be a cow, of course dead and bloody, to a dead Optimus Prime from Transformers (thank the Lord that Optimus Prime is a robot or else blood would be coming out of him, too!).
What is neat about David Herbert's sculptures is the fact that each one of them is made out of really cheap materials like construction paper and aluminum foil. Artistic? Check. Bloody? Check. What a perfect combination.
