Fresh Baked Bread, Anyone? Gruesome Body Bakery Imagine running up to the bakery around the corner and coming across bread shaped like body parts. Sound yummy? Artist Kittiwat Unarrom creates just that; gruesome works of art out of bread. Kittiwat Unarrom has a master's degree in fine arts and creates bruised and battered heads, feet and other internal organs at a bread shop in Thailand.

And because it's in the middle of a really large interestection, people could see it from really far away. At this point it was almost 6am. Many thanks to our peeps who stayed up all night to help us pull this off. The Rubik's Cube stayed up for the entire day. At around 5pm, I was curious if it was still up since I hadn't heard from anyone for a while. It stayed up through evening rush hour, when people seemed waaay more excited about it than they did at 6:30am on their way to work. But then around 8pm a strange thing happen. Oh well. Back to the Astor CubeBack to pranks
