Brandon Bird’s “Two Warriors Come Out of the Sky” presents The Dukes of Hazzard as a cave painting. It was created with acrylic paint and dirt on canvas. We’ve previously featured his Seinfeld/Bruce Lee remix and and his depiction of the death of Jennifer Sisko from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine.

Are cave paintings signs of intelligence of ancient cave dwellers or are they just scribbles of crazy cavemen?
Take a look at the two photos above. The one to the left is a painting made by a patient at St. Elizabeth’s hospital. The patient had a case of dementia praecox (eventually classified as schizophrenia) and used a pin or fingernail to scratch paint from the wall, creating pictures symbolizing past events in the patient’s life and represent a mild state of mental regression.
Jeb of Modcult made this intriguing observation:
You know, everyone assumes cave paintings were made for some sort of vaunted religious or technical purpose, but maybe in olden times they just sent their crazy people into a cave. I mean, that’s basically what we do now.
