Wicked pencil sculptures

The Colombian artist Federico Uribe is very known for his love and need to express pop art by using materials that we use in our everyday life. These sculptures are as said only made by using a bunch of color pencils, and small plastic fasteners to keep it all in place. Even though the material is something as simple as pencils, he still pulls it off and makes it look even more awesome than expected.
