In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
Ah… good old Mr Hirst!
I thought you might be interested in the pictures I took of the “Virgin Mother” when it was on show at the Royal Academy of Arts in London - prior to the display above.

Hirst should stick to the human form and leave Sharks alone.

Awesome. I had no idea. I was just strolling around NY last summer and there, in the courtyard of a building as I rounded the corner, was a giant black metal foot. I walked closer underneath the archway and saw that the foot was attached to a leg. The skin was flapping loose at the top. WTF? And then WHAT? A BABY?
I had no idea what it was up until now. Makes sense that it was Damien Hirst. Freaking incredible piece of work. And HUGE.
