Art is the new currency

Scott Campbell is a Brooklyn tattoo artist. He charges $300 an hour.

His tattoos are pretty amazing but I'm more a fan of his laser cut art.

He started off with a stack of dollar bills and now sources uncut sheets directly from the US Mint to create large, intricate works with a sunken relief effect.

The bottom piece uses $11,000 worth of currency sheets to create a two-foot cube into which a three dimensional skull is carved-out.

Yes. Scott does like a skull.
