New York City-based artist Matthew Bartik began bending forks while in dining halls at college. His first formal sculpture, which he created for an art class assignment, was a goldfish aquarium made from forks and glass. But he's now been able to move out of the cafeteria and is producing fork art full-time. Pictured above is an example from Bartik's figure study portfolio: a representation of a photographer.

There were a lot of tables out there that day, but his was the only one that made me want to stop and have a conversation with the artist.
If you can afford to, buy some stuff from him. He's obviously talented, and he's a really nice guy.
