Eerie Blood Sculptures by Artist

British artist Marc Quinn, inspired by Rembrandt, creates macabre self-portraits using his own blood. He crafts eerie sculptures of his head from his frozen blood, requiring nine pints, roughly the amount in a human body. Since 1991, he has created five such blood heads, documenting his aging process. One even sold for $465,000. Storing them in freezers presents a unique challenge. Quinn plans to create the last one after his death, using all the blood drained from his body-enough to rival a scene from "The Shining."
