Some designer labels are concerned about copyrightinfringement in online ads. Some designer labels are worried about rip-offs being sold off the backs of trucks. But perhaps designer labels should be worried about their trademarks being used on arms.

The artist Peter Gronquist has turned assault rifles into Burberry bling, chainsaws into Fendi power tools, and grenades into Pac-Man trinkets. And at auction, where his works start at $2,500, they're selling like hot cakes. Nevermind that Gronquist wants to refocus his efforts. On painting.
