Not every artist works with paint and canvas. Zayd Menk, an artist based in Zimbabwe, uses computer parts, hot glue, and basically anything he can find in his junk drawer. The results are stunning. Just check out this build of Midtown Manhattan he completed after months of work. Composed of 263 hot glue sticks, 11 CPUs, 27 motherboards, a handful of graphics cards and hard drives, and a watch or two, this .0635 : 100 scale model is a prime example of the art style he calls “recyclism.” Taking into account the actual heights of the buildings and the spacing between them, Menk crafted something accurate, colorful, and mighty impressive. This video will give you a look at the process.
