Too Young To Die



This enormous ashtray (10" diameter) features a version of Yoshitomo Nara's artwork entitled, "Too Young To Die". The irony of this being on an ashtray... I like it! (I don't smoke cigarettes regularly, by the way. Once in a great while, and I mean VERY rarely, I smoke a clove cigarette. They've got cloves in them; tobacco too. Tobacco is bad, kids! Don't smoke! You can still have a nice ashtray, and put your jewelry or coins in it.)

Alright, enough hipocrisy.

The Nara ashtray is available at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.
