Artist Mike Simi found inspiration from [Home Depot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blow-up) and Phil Collins for his latest display. It's certainly an odd combination, but the result was an army of mannequins made with [buckets atop their heads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-2).

The Daydrunk exhibit by Miki Simi is oddly cool and I can’t help but think that although the inspiration was a hardware store and a singer, the idea of being drunk and wanting to put a bucket over your head is something everyone has felt. Take a look at pictures of the fun art, or watch the video [here](http://mikesimi.com/video/daydrunkforweb.mov).
