This creepy memorial, painted in 2004, marks the site of the last stop James Dean made before dying in a car crash.

The artist, John Cerney, has been attracting more and more attention over the years for his larger-than-life murals -- dozens of them are in California and elsewhere in the West and Midwest. Check out, for instance, Big Baby, at the New York Times link below.
