Damien Hirst Unveils $98M Diamond Skull ‘For the Love of God’

There is art in smoke and even in those filthy granules of the soil you never pay heed to; however, you need to have the eyes of the bad boy Damien Hirst to perceive the glitter. Yes, he’s back again with his most daring effort yet showcasing his intrinsic beauty in the shape of a $98M diamond skull named ‘For the Love of God’.

The latest piece is Damien’s most expensive diamond encrusted skull decked with 8,601 sparkling diamonds (worth £12 million), eye and nose sockets filled with hundreds of jewels and a 52-carat pear-shaped stone fixed on the forehead, which is further bordered with 14 diamonds. Critics may view it with a slant eye, as usual, however, we know the artist doesn’t need to prove his hunger for the extraordinary yet awe-inspiring art.
Currently displayed in the White Cube gallery in East London, the breathtaking skull, as Hirst says, is ‘a celebration against death’ and is a platinum replica of a human skull he introduced a couple of years back.

A Total Wash Out

Today I rescued my dad's house from being flooded from the heavy down pour. I came to the rescue and sorted out everything as he was panicking and pacing up and down while i was getting drenched in the garden trying to stop the water from coming down the path by blocking with two giant bags of compost and opened the manhole as it was air blocked and wasn't letting any water drain away. We had to keep it open as there was so much rain water rushing in as the rain wasn't stopping. If the rain did not stop it could like this:




I was soaking wet from top to bottom and started to feel cold. I stayed for lunch, which consisted of rice and salad and cold chicken, which was very nice. Pops had to go to work and the rained stopped so i went home and had a shower and just chilled out for the rest of the day.
