Art in Life

Here are two examples of art in everyday places...that I love.

The first is pencil sculptures by Dalton Ghetty.





 He makes sculptures out of the wood and graphite of regular-sized pencils. they are extremely tiny and take him months or sometimes years! He even has a collection of his sculptures that he has accidentally broken while working with them. The craziest part is, he doesn't sell them or make any money on them, he gives them all to friends.



 This one of the saw is sort of incredible, how he carves both the wood and the graphite into one cohesive sculpture...and the one below of the heart hanging on a chain...

Next is an art event from Berlin where bikers spilled environmentally friendly, water-based paint onto a traffic intersection. I would love to do this in the US and a really crowded intersection during rush hour traffic. it would make rush hour fun :)
