Grave Digger turned artist memorializes the dead

Artist Michael Butler is catching critics eyes not just for his talent, but for the unique medium from which he creates his paintings. Butler mixes his pigments with cremated human remains in an effort to create memorializing works of art for the living. While he certainly isn't the first artist to do so, his studio is creating quite a buzz. So if you're looking to honor a loved one or pet who has passed on, an 11X17 framed work will run you about $900. Oh, consider the holiday possibilities...
