obscure and delicious: pol bury

Pol Bury
Ever heard of him?
Didn't thinks so.
But if you have, you gotta love him!
He's 
handsome....

A hard worker....

Like Travis Bickle,
he is
organizized....

Can draw pretty....

He's a good dancer....

Swell with an Exacto....

 But most 
importantly, 
he could sculpt.
He was an amazing kinetic sculptor.
Everything that looks like it is statically attached,
moves.
Sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly....
