This isn't much different. Someone is taking TransFormers that someone else could have appreciated--whether that means cherishing them and keeping them mint, or playing with them until they fall apart--and wasting them. Now, I'll admit that this guy appreciates them as a resource for his "art", but anyone with much sense can see that his "art" is not worthwhile. It's not aesthetically pleasing, serves no functional purpose, and has no higher meaning. It's not even original. Frankensteined "mutant toys" are a topic covered in the first Toy Story movie, and as art it explores nothing that hasn't already been done to death long ago by the Dada and Pop Art movements. It's a complete and total waste.  | |

Well said, and if I may add, this art guy is a douche bag. | |
