The "Art" is in the making

I've always been fascinated by art not necessarily intended as high-brow art. What I mean, is stuff like the street vendor doing a bunch of tricks to wow the passers by into buying his wares, or re-purposing children's toys or garbage into really neat things.

That's all the introduction I'm gonna give. Without further ado:

Guy made a Gyrados (a type of Pokémon, for those less nerdly inclined) out of LEGO blocks. Pretty damned incredible.

Dude makes candy art. Street vendor in China (I think). In this, he makes a caramel lolipop Dragon thingy. It's so cool.

These people don't just turn trash into statues: they use them to still look like garbage heaps but the images projected onto a surface behind? That is art. This is such an Inception-type way of doing things. Pretty freakin' amazing.
