Culture: Dollar Bill Sculptures by Scott Campbell


A supreme artist of many mediums from skin to copper to paper and even Louis Vuitton prints, Brooklyn New York artist Scott Campbell has brought his precision tattooing techniques to yet another type of canvas, MONEY! More Info and Photos after the Break Courtesty of Stupiddope
We asked ourselves how Campbell could destroy money this way.  We found that he sources uncut sheets of dollar bills from the United States Mint to create works of art that far exceed the price of the dollars that compose them.
Campbell’s most striking money work is the Pièce de Résistance. It is made from a stack of enough bills to make a two foot cube of solid scrilla.  Campbell laser etched a 3D human skull into the stack of $11,000 and we aren’t even mad.  Take a look at the result in the gallery below and you will agree that Scott Campbell is a talented visual artist in all respects.  This isn’t his first work made from dollar bills so to view more of Campbell’s work, visit him on the web –HERE.
