If you want to add some art to the bottom of your pool but prefer that it not be permanent, we’ve got your solution: Pool Art Mats by Aqua Art Enterprise, Inc. Customizable in any size, the mats sinks to the pool floor to display photographic quality prints in full color. The mats appear painted or tiled and can remain on the bottom of a pool for a single event or a full season.
Aqua Art Enterprise has used mats to hook up pools at private residences, cruise ships, and casinos. Pictured to the left you’ll see the largest underwater advertisement ever, a 6,400 square foot mat custom installed at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino to promote the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week.
Standard prices range from $595 for a 4′ x 4′ Pool Art Mat to $5,180 for 8′ x 16′. Larger installs like the one we’ve pictured clearly cost more. We like the mats because you can use your own photos and change them out at any time.

If you’re looking to make an absurd novelty addition to your yard, drinkstuff.com has the perfect product: a life-sized, $57,000 Tyrannosaurus Rex garden statue made from fiberglass and resin. They’ve also got a life-sized Camarasaurus for sale at the same price.
We find it ironic that a drinking products website is selling these statues. But it does make some sense, because it would take us at least a few beers a piece before buying a life-sized dinosaur statue starts to sound like a good idea.
In any case, these Jurassic Park-like statues could make a funny addition to your crib, especially if your backyard resembles a jungle. Since each statue is made by hand, the wait time for delivery is three to four months, so you better think about ordering soon if you want your dinosaur statue to arrive in time for summer.

After the 1998 war ended in Cambodia, the country’s government worked with officials from the European Union to destroy 125,000 weapons. A group called Draft, founded in 2003 by two Brits, got their hands on thousands of these weapons and started Peace Art Project Cambodia (PAPC) to turn these arms into art. The resulting sculptures feature AK barrels and handles, among other gun parts, and they are currently sold through The Art House gallery in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Prices start at around $600 for a basic Christmas tree shape and run over $10,000 for more complex works. We are a big fan. Although the prices strike us as a little steep.
