Daniel Edwards’ [celebrity ooglies](http://www.caplakesting.com/danedwards/index.htm). Note the Britney Spears one does not show the backside of her giving birth. Not to worry [, here it is.](http://www.flickr.com/photos/40372539@N03/5800187524/)

People, this is the backside of a sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth. If I have to give you a nsfw warning, you need to go back to sex ed.

Most of 'em look too much like [the Silence](http://images.wikia.com/tardis/images/2/2b/The_Silence_2.jpg).

Not as baroquely hideous as some of the large examples here, Dorothy Tanning’s [Cousins](http://www.dorotheatanning.org/life-and-work/view-work/work-126/) can give one a start in the intimate setting of the Surrealist gallery at The Menil.

Also local–the All Too Public Oeuvre of [David Adickes](http://hubpages.com/hub/The-Legacy-of-David-AdickesTexas-Artist-and-Sculptor)…
