awesomeness in the world

you have probably all received emails with images of julian beever's amazing chalk street paintings. they look so REAL!

but you may not be familiar with another artist named joshua allen harris. his material of choice is bags- plastic trash bags. and his skill in taping bags together to create inflated creatures is WAY COOL!
now, you may know about this already, because he's been doing this since 2008. but again, it's just another one of those things going on in the world of which, i am unaware! volumes could be written about the things i don't know about!

i just found joshua recently in a video on another blog. i think it is such a unique idea, check out this video:



that is just too cool!!
he also did a pro bono ad for the the environmental defense fund, it too is WAY COOL!




yeah, ride, don't drive...just like miss daisy!
