Italian artist Marco Perego is currently displaying a life size statue of Amy Wino lying on the ground in a puddle of blood with a shot in the dome. The perp responsible for the crime? American author William S. Borroughs.

The artwork also has a mask of Minnie Mouse next to the fallen body of Amy, that, according to the artist, is a reference to a YouTube video where the singer appears playing with a rat along with the musician and friend Pete Doherty. Perego affirms that the artwork is a “kind of a tribute” to rock stars like Amy Winehouse, that, according to him “are the sacrificial animals of society”. Amy, as well as Borroughs, is known for the use of drugs and alcohol. A spokesman of the singer said that the artwork displayed in New York is “funny”. “It’s a funny kind of tribute. The artist seems in thrall to a tabloid persona that is not the real Amy. People often use her image to sell their work”, said the spokesman to the British periodical “The Times”. [source]

I don’t know about you but crackheads always make me feel artistic. I’m going to look for a muse today to vacuum out my car.

Nobody better throw Bobby Brown under the bus like this. I’m not trying to see the kang sprawled out in his drawls face down with Superhead standing behind him with a plastic bag from Costco. It just wouldn’t be appropriate.
