Steven Backman, Toothpick Artist Extraordinaire

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Pictures on April 7, 2008 at 8:45 pm


That’s toothpick artist extraordinaire Steven Backman, who has been creating toothpick sculptures for over 30 years. He’s holding his toothpick radio-controlled yacht, which is actually seaworthy (okay, pool-worthy). That little beauty is made from 10,000 toothpicks.

    Exactly, and this is why I like the chopstick guy better.

    A) he recycled B) He build something anyone could USE.
