Aug 25: Gormley Overload

Antony Gormley  an international aritist who has a knack of coming up with some funny idea, thought provoking even. He's famous for the Angel of the North (Gateshead, UK). Before he did the angel, he did 'Another Place'  100 iron status in Crosby Bay (Liverpool, UK).

This is what they look like, with 100 of them all over the beach, & bay, you will never be alone.

The thing is, you know something is getting a bit out of hand, when they start going all over London, the Event Horizon where there were 31 of his status doted over various building around the Thames. Here's one...

Now you know when it's been very successfull when Lego start getting in on the act...

Look no further..

I say no more!
