Egg Currency VS. Elvis Photomosaic

This is a work of art that was created in China. It is composed of eggs, and has been made to include tremendous detail of a currency note. As amazing as the Great Wall is, this might have to be the number two structure. The artist that created this must have been extremely patient and well, had lot's of eggs. Either way, this is definitely one way to counterfeit currency.

I can only imagine working on a piece this big. First, a lot of thought was definitely put into this project. Second, the artist must have worked only in one direction. For example, left to right, top to bottom, right to left, etc. Otherwise, he would be walking on eggs all day.





On the other hand, a little less messy approach to a piece of art would be to use Post-it Notes. Not nearly as amazing as the Egg Currency. This damn near measures up though! Possibly out of boredom, this is a photo mosaic style Elvis that was made out of multi-colored Post-it Notes and applied onto a conference room wall. Again, this is also very time-consuming but still amazing.

I can't wait to see what's next.
