Check out the sweet new Faces of Death tee. They feature a collection of recently dead celebrities ranging from TV pitchman (Billy Mays) to literary giant (John Updike) to Art world muse (Jeanne Claude). Each drawing was rendered by one of my wonderfully talented and humorous friends, in styles ranging from painterly to primitive. The Faces of Death idea was originally realized in 1997 in a music 'zine my pals and I did called, Gank, and continued in 2002 on a t-shirt printed in my kitchen. 2009 was a banner year for celebrity deaths and demanded the reanimation of the franchise. Let's hope no one else dies before the year is up!
