PUGGLE BABIES








Cute as a button!

Baby Echidnas (spiny anteaters) are reffered to as 'puggles'. They are found mainly in New Guinea and Australia, and together with echidnas, and the the platypus, they are egg-laying mammels (monotremes).
The long-beaked echidnas have tiny spines on their tongues that help capture their meals.

Jason Hackenwerth's balloon art is incredible!

Hackenwerth’s material of choice is balloons. He blows up hundreds of balloons and strings them together in unusual forms to create artwork that resembles an array of colourful and strange animals, insects or aliens. Like all balloons they slowly deflate over time and therfore it adds another dimension to his work.

He definately brings a new meaning to the term 'Pop Art'.
