Arts & Crafts We Can Believe In

Last Thursday I took the train home from work as usual. When I stepped in the car, I noticed a man carrying this:


It's a three by four-foot portrait of Barack Obama made entirely of yarn. The artist said it took a little over three days to complete, and was kind enough to let me take the preceding photo. I still don't know whether to laugh at or be impressed by his devotion to the President Elect. Maybe both.

...I don't really know what else to say about this. I'll just let you take it all in.

Were people throwing tomatoes at the Obama portrait? It seems like a good target for those inclined to do so...
