Designer Peter Gronquist has taken weapons of war and turned them into works of art

Peter Gronquist’s Sculpture + Weapons series features guns, grenades and chainsaws (disabled first, of course) that he’s glitzed up and slapped with fashion’s biggest designer logos. Though not all designers appreciate the social statement—Louis Vuitton actually issued a Cease and Desist—Gronquist keeps on keepin’ on, partly because the popularity of his weapon sculptures has brought in the cash flow. “I’m a whore,” he admits. “I’m a victim of the rampant consumerism that I parody. It’s all very confusing.”via[zootpatrol]
