New Steve Jobs Sculpture Is Supposedly Made with Some Of Steve's Trash

The realistic and cutesy Steve Jobs action figures introduced and cancelled earlier this year seemed like a joy kill. I'd get one of those for my desk! But fear not, there's always no shortage of things like these coming out. A new one is on the way, one that supposedly contains a weird and creepy ingredient: his trash.
The sculpture entitled "Think Different" will be unveiled on October 13th, made by XVALA, is due to be shown at a gallery in Los Angeles starting early in October. Cory Allen Contemporary Art described it this way in the announcement of the piece:
Coated in an "Apple White finish," the sculpture is cast in the artist's patented plastic porcelain, mixed with a recycled resin made up of Steve Job's residential trash which the artist collected from the tech icon's home several months before his death.
They plan to mass produce the sculptures in an appropriate work environment, part of which is a reminder of Foxconn suicides.
Cory Allen says that production will continue with or without (read: without) Apple's approval. [PR Newswire via SlashGear]
