GO Moderator United States 6563 Posts	Posted 04/14/2009 2:16 pm Quote: Art for a Dollar By: Dahlia Rideout Critically acclaimed tattoo artist, Scott Campbell, recently showed his work at the O.H.W.O.W. gallery in Miami, FL. The highlight of the evening was a series of laser-cut etchings, each on a stack of $1 bills. The collection is entitled "Make It Rain" and shows a sampling of the artist's dark and beautiful undertones. Scott Campbell was born in rural Louisiana and began his career illustrating before mastering the art of tattoo. In 2004, he opened Saved Tattoo in Brooklyn where he perfected his signature style.

I also wonder about the legal ramifications of this artwork. One would hope that law enforcement has more important things to do than jail someone for something like this. I suppose it should only be an issue if someone tried to get these dollars replaced by a bank.
