Dead Muppets

Artist Adam Parker Smith would lead you to believe this is part of an "ongoing exploration involving consumerist addiction to violence and the infatuation with the high school crush" and "combines craftwork and portraiture in order to present the aftermath of an imagined scene inspired by Ernest Hemingway’s For Whom The Bell Tolls." Personally, I just think that this must be what happens to Muppets when they die.

Dead desk accessories

Suck.uk produces a wonderful assortment of pen holders (Dead Fred), light pulls (Hanging Harry), coasters (Splat Stan), bookmarks (Dead Mark) and stress balls (Stress Paul). Dark humor at its best (or should I say "dark humour" since it's an English company).
