I’ve had the kind fortune to exchange e-mails recently with J. Jules Vitali, the artist responsible for Styrogami — exquisitely hand-carved mini-sculptures made from styrofoam cups. As a gesture of kindness, he created a wickedly clever sculpture called “Gorelet” (image below) — a one-of-a-kind piece of art that will be available to some lucky soul who randomly receives it in an Art*O*Mat machine — a repurposed cigarette machine that now dispenses art instead of cancer (reminiscent of Gumball Poetry). I think this is very cool and I’m honored by Vitali’s gift. Please drop by his website to see more of his excellent creations…you’ll be surprised! I love stuff like this. “Gorelet” looks like something that would chomp the fingers clean off of who over opens the package!
