Larger than Life


Since we're on the topic of recycling boxes,
I thought this was a good time to share
some super cool sculptures. They
are store window displays at the
Nike shop in Soho, New York City.

Standing at least 6 feet tall, this
creature is one big basketball fanatic.

Here's the back view -- see how he's
spinning the ball?

Can you believe that this is made
entirely out of shoe boxes?

Here's another one made of
black & white shoe boxes.

They were created by talented artist
Christophe Roberts...which he started
because he had so many Nike
shoe boxes in his closet.

Check-out this video on how he puts
sculptures like these together.

Awesome right?
Have an enjoyable weekend!
