    Admire Odd Art

    Amaze yourself with one-of-a-kind — and totally peculiar — pop art. From portraits of the royals created entirely from toys to a larger-than-life gorilla built from tire rubber and canvases covered in dryer lint: the artwork is just as remarkable as the people who create it.
