If You Want to Destroy My Credit…
…hold this thread as I walk away. Artist Dimitri Tsykalov has four more of these giant knit credit cards on display over at Galerie Rabouan Moussion. Just don’t click past image 5/20 unless you want to see naked people covered in raw meat. [via adafruit]

Life Size Junk Mammoth
Junk artist extraordinaire Jud Turner is an old favorite here at MAKE. He’s just moved into a bigger studio and completed his largest piece, ever—a life-size Columbian Mammoth skeleton made from “95% recycled materilas, mostly old farm equipment and agricultural tools.” He’s also posted some cool work-in-progress shots here. [Thanks, Jud!]
