The barrel monster (you can see it in action by watching the video to the right of this column) is something all of us have thought about. Well, maybe not specifically but we've all thought up creative ways to destroy traffic barrels. I will admit I've thought about driving into them, but that's the most thought I've put into it.

I love Joe Carnavale's ideas. Perhaps he should have recreated the traffic barrels by using buckets instead of performing vandalism but you have to admit it's a different idea. I love the alligator, too. This guy has a lot of talent, whoever scoops him up as their personal artist or prop designer will be lucky.

To the youngsters who are thinking they might get minor celebrity from defacing others' property, try deviantart.com first. Also check your local art galleries, sometimes they'll have sponsored shows. You could try making your creations and submitting them to local businesses or art fairs. Good luck!
