Joshua Allen Harris' Inflatable Bag Monsters

55,952 views
Call us boring and simple-minded, but before we saw the work of street artist Joshua Allen Harris we never once considered the artistic possibilities of subway exhaust. Using only tape and garbage bags, Harris creates giant inflatable animals that become animated when fastened to a sidewalk grate. Check out this amazing video of what can be done to brighten others days with a little imagination!

This is great. I live in Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, and we are literally drowning in plastic waste. I wish we could do something as inspiring as this. Wonderful work!

The sheer creativity of the artist is very inspirational. And he does a great job with very little money. And it is FUN to see his art in motion.

It's non-pretentious street art made from cheap materials. Made from imagination and without preciousness. Art for the people. Art that makes people smile and feel happy and uses it's surroundings as part of it. Fantastic.

“Give me a sense of humor, Lord
Give me the grace to see a joke;
To get some pleasure out of life
And pass it on to other folk!”

Awesome vision! Please come to Niagara Falls and figure out a way to make the power of the falls water and and wind into art.
