A month ago, we brought you the The Daily Life of a Shrimp, a very full day featuring automata by Italian artist Amedeo Capelli. Now we get to see another slice of crustacean life as the shrimp gets an invitation to a picnic! Of course, he has to prepare something delicious to take first. I don't think it's going to be shrimp cocktail.
Capelli explains that he's in his "shrimp's era" right now because he enjoys making them, and his followers like them as well. In an interview at Instagram, he explains what makes his hard-working and hard-playing shrimp so charming (in Italian with English subtitles). They are industrious and frenetic, which is cute in itself, but their popularity mainly comes down to the fact that any human activity is funny when a shrimp does it. There are quite a few of his shrimp automata available at Etsy. -via Boing Boing
