Urban Art using Colored Drinking Cups - very cool!

For all the geeky gamers out there - check this out!  Here's the link to Pixeled Fence, a gamer's urban art project.  He talks about how he constructed them, and has pictures of his son and daughter helping him too.  He used spray paint and a bunch of cups to put this together.  A paper blue print with the layout of the color pixels helped!  These are located in Utah, but maybe this art form will spread to other areas as well!
