Artist Zheng Chunhui made this world record longest continuous wooden sculpture. It's
a replica of the famous painting Along the River During The Qingming Festival and it
took four years to create and is about 12 meters long, 3 meters tall, and 2.4 meters
wide.
Henry Hargreaves and Caitlin Levin created these gingerbread replicas of well known art
museums from around the world including the Tate Modern in London, The Louvre in Paris
and The Guggenheim in New York. All of the candy was from Dylan's Candy Bar where they
were asked to create something unique for an art show.
Yayoi Kusama created these Infinity Rooms for a show called "I Who Have Arrived in Heaven."
They're mirrored environments that trick the eye and create an unusual viewing experience
and they're so popular that the wait to view the rooms can be anywhere from 1 to 4 hours.
The artist, now in her mid 80's, is also showing off 27 large scale paintings.

Shanti Grumbine creates intricate art using the New York Times. The work is called Kenosis,
which is a greek noun for emptiness or emptying. She takes headlines such as Tropical Storm Irene, In
the Midst of Losses, and Bin Laden's Secret Life and turns them into something new by
removing parts of the image and story.
Dino Tomic of Atomic Circus sent me these amazing hyper realistic large scale mixed
media drawings of his family that include his father, mother, grandfathers, and grandmothers.
Each one took over 70 hours to create and he used water-based colored pencils, dry pastel,
and tattoo color.
And now for the incredible drawings from the YouTube channel of Marcello Barenghi.
Tal Peleg is a makeup artist whose canvas is the human eye. Her work includes a wide
range of themes such as this steam punk style, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, sushi, the ugly duckling,
Pink Floyd's the wall, and a cat playing with yarn.
