Realistic, and Expensive, Piranha Plant Sculpture

realistic piranha plant sculpture

Some people would pay extra to ensure that teeth are not part of their experience. Sculptor Kalapusa is hoping there are some individuals who feel the exact opposite though. Determined to create an absolute masterpiece, he first began his ambitious project by thoroughly researching animal skin patterns, mouth anatomy, aging, and plant life. What he learned combined with five months of arduous work left him with what is arguably the most realistic interpretation of the iconic Super Mario Bros. Piranha Plant ever created. Assuming that you find the thought of owning a large, carnivorous sculpture more than a little appealing, it could potentially be yours for a starting bid of only US $1,400. If that price tag has a bit too much bite for you, there’s also a baby version available at a fraction of the cost. That one has significantly less teeth and a whole lot more gums, which we all know is more desirable anyways.

*A special thanks to TJ Fadness, who prefers women with removable dentures, for the tip!

        Oh, really? I’ll go check it now.
        Yep, they’re there. Well, it’s odd that gmail would automatically put you in my spam folder. Usually they don’t make those sort of mistakes.

        Well no matter now. The story has been posted; all is well. :)

          Great, now I’m compelled to go dig through the 1066 spam emails I have.

          Also, correction in my previous post: “Usually it doesn’t make those sort of mistakes.”

          I’ve had more than a few people tell me that my messages end up in their spam folder so I check mine every day. There’s always at least one or two a week that go in there that shouldn’t unfortunately.
