Blood Rush

You know when ur hanging upside down from a tree? Or when the class bully is shaking you down for your lunch money and holding you by your ankles? Remember how all that blood rushes to your head and it feels like it's going to explode? Well, that was sort of artist Marc Quinn's inspiration behind his most recent err statue? Not sure what you would call it, but for the past 5 months, Marc's been storing his blood. I'm sure it was professionally withdrawn from his body but if it wasn't then that makes the following mold of his head that much more coolor (and creepier).

This is Marc Quinn's self portrait/mold of his face, made completely out of his own frozen blood.
