Vsauce! This is your home for some of the coolest creations from everyday people. This
is BiDiPi.
Build it
Tom Miller built a personal train track that runs around his nearly 20 acre property. It
has handmade steam locomotives, 11,000 feet of track, 30 ft tall railroad trestle, and a
400 foot long tunnel. He also has two of the largest F scale trains in his museum that
were build completely by hand, including all of the scenery and background.
Randall Rosenthal creates amazing wooden sculptures that look like paper objects. All of his projects
start from a single block of wood and are hand-painted once carved. Some of his work
includes a cardboard box full of cash, newspapers, box full of baseball cards, and binders full
of papers.
Mister Finch is a self-taught artist that sews nature-inspired original creations. They
look similar to taxidermy and he uses recycled materials to make them. Some of his works
include Tea Making Spider, Halloween Hares, and Felinka- a larger sculpture made from
leather and fake fur.
Brett Kern creates these hyper-realistic ceramic sculptures that look like inflatable toys.
The work ranges from inflatable dinosaurs to balloons and a space man. He sells them
on his etsy page and it takes at least a month to handmake them to order.
Draw it
Emptied Gestures is a body art project by Heather Hansen. Each life-sized drawing is
created by holding charcoal in each hand and making choreographed movements across the
paper. She says she's looking for ways to download her movement directly onto paper,
emptying gestures from one form to another.
Michael Mapes creates these intricate collage portraits out of scientific specimens. He
uses parts of photographic prints, glass vials, insect pins, dried botanical matter, and other
materials to create his works inspired by Dutch painters.
