Crayola Wildfire

Posted by on

If you look closely, you’ll notice that these 3 dimensional sculptures are made from hundreds of thousands of Crayola crayons! Artist Herb Williams, who is one of the few individuals who has an account with Crayola (WTF!), wanted to raise awareness through sculpture for the wildfires that have recently ravaged the state of Texas. Unwanted Visitor: Portrait Of Wildfire consists of 5 five swirling flames, which over time would melt and change shape due to weather conditions. The project is display till the end of the year in Lubbock, Texas at the National Ranching Heritage Center.

    Okay, first things first… is it possible to hold an account with Crayola?? If so, how do I get one? Secondly, these sculptures are fantastic! I love how ever-changing they are. What a great way to bring light to such a relevant and important topic, too!

    Oh wow, that is REALLY cool! They look so photoshopped that it’s hard to believe they’re real. Great find!

    I literally just discovered this artist yesterday! I wrote a paper on him for a class and then posted his stuff on Reddit to share. What a coincidence! Thanks for sharing this totally awesome artist with us!
