I just found this on someone's Xanga profile and had to share!! How cool is this?

I did a little digging and found the same post on Boing Boing. The artist's name is Peter Root, and the cityscape is composed of stacks of staples of varying heights. It was pleasing to learn that the artist has made some other mixed-media cityscapes, like Honey and Almond (2009) and Wasteland (2009). That's a lot of potatoes.
