Wednesday Wonder- egg me on

I love bizarre art and to see something that works from waste makes my heart sing for some reason.
I think it gives us all permission to create some thing out of so-called waste.
Dutch Artist Enno de Kroon gets an A in my book! Go to Eggcubism on his site and click the links on the left. Eggciting!!!

The new canvases of the future.
I have always thought that someday we would have to make something beautiful out of our waste, cause we are running out of places to throw it.
Visit Enno's Flickr site for some new works and some eggstravagant pieces. http://www.flickr.com/photos/ennodekroon/
