So....
Have you ever just wanted to create something out of nothing? Have you ever been so bored you decided to build something out of staples? What?? You haven't thought of building a city out of staples like this guy?
Peter Root decided to just create his own city, out of office staples.
So what do you think of this city? Is it creative, crazy, or just plain cool? Would you have the patience or be willing to put in the effort? What would it take to get you to create something like this?

I feel mean, but when I first saw this I thought of kicking it over. It is cool and I never would have thought about doing this. It probably took hours.
ReplyDeletethat much?
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool project. It would take forever to create a whole city out of staples. It would also be very frustrating because at any moment one wrong move and it can collapse.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. I never would have the patience to do this. It would take a lot of money for me to create this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool thing to look at. Although I don't believe that I would ever try such a thing. It would take way too long to even attempt.
ReplyDeleteI think this project is a cool creative idea. I would not even try to attempt this I would get bored way to fast. If I had to make something like this it would have to be for something that’s not just going to be destroyed later.
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool thing to do with things that you normally would make things out of. This imagine took a lot of time, and effort to do without getting frustrated. I definitely would not have the patience to do this because one wrong little move and you could ruin hours worth of work.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool but I would never have the patience to sit there and make this. I think I would rather just use staples to put my papers together.
ReplyDeleteI definitely wouldn't have the patience to do this. It kinda seems like a waste of time. I don't really like the way it turned out as it doesn't even look like a city.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very creative and fun project. Its like a little city, its so tiny. I would take the time to do this project although it would take alot od time. I think it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteHoly crap i bet he spent his life working on this project. Its so cool just to look at it. I wonder if we live in a little town like this and a huge person was messing with us.
ReplyDeleteWow i love this. This looks like something from a dream land. It sure would be very hard to create but it sure is cool.
ReplyDeleteTo me this city is pretty sweet. No i would not have the patients to even think about doing this. It would take me more patients than i have to do this.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very creative way of art. I would not have enough patience to do this. The only way somebody could make me do this is with a lot of Mcdonalds
ReplyDeleteThis looks cool. The artist mush have a large amount of time on his hands, I could do a little city like this i think. It would be difficult but a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteI like it. I dont think I would have patience to do it, but if I did, it would be a great outcome
ReplyDeleteI would like to try this, but know me I would be almost done and knock it over.
ReplyDeletei would like to try this with paper clips. i would end up messing up. this is really cool though
ReplyDeletethis dont even look like a city
ReplyDeleteWhen I first glanced at it I thought it was just a photograph of a city and then I realized it was constructed out of staples. I would probably get frustrated and just end up putting the staples into a staple for actual use but this is a creative idea
ReplyDeleteOK even though this is really cool i would not want to do something this this because it would take really long and it would get messy.
ReplyDeleteI would never have the patience to do this. It is a complete waste of time and energy. I would have to be payed to do this.
ReplyDeletethis is really neat. Where would you put it after your done with this project?
ReplyDeleteI never would ever try this. To much time that I don't have. But this is cool for someone who has no time to do anything else in their life.
ReplyDeletethis is cool but realy stupid. it would take way to long. i dont want to do this
ReplyDeleteI think this is so cool, I do also think it could be a waste of time... But I think if he had the time and money for it thats cool!
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy and cool. I think that it would be interesting to see. I would not have the patience to put them then I would most likely hit something then just leave.
ReplyDeletei think it is very cool i have never see something like that before and it is a great thing that someone have the time to do something like that
ReplyDeleteSomething like this is really cool. i like it a lot, but I myself would not have the patience to do this project. Trying to get the staples to stay up would be hard for me to do, because knowing me i would knock it down right when i got it up. but otherwise its really cool, i just don't think i would be able to do it.
ReplyDeleteThat must have taken a while to make.
ReplyDeletei kinda want to know how he got the idea to build things out of staples. Artist are so creative. this would have taken many days and night to build something this large.
ReplyDeleteThis project doesnt seem very hard. It seems like this project was made by somebody being bored and stacking staples intill it looked cool. Pretty neat.
ReplyDeleteyou have to have steady hands to do that. i think it is pretty neat how they did this
ReplyDeleteThis seems like an interesting and extremely hard thing to do. I would never even try to attempt it. Although others may believe that it would be fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is crazy awesome! I would love to try this some time!
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous... the fact he has this much time on his hands to create this huge city. It blows my mind how its out of staples.
ReplyDeleteI think that the city made out of staples is really cool. It had to have taken this guy a lot of time to make it. It was a really creative way to use something as common as staples. It would take a very large meal to get me to do this.
ReplyDeleteThis looks hard and very time consuming as you would have to put each individual staple section together.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a really cool well designed city. I think its a cool city and is something you could see in near future. I dont think i would ever have the patience do this just for the reason on ill knock something over every other second. I think the only way i would do this is for a large amount of money
ReplyDeletethis is crazy but cool
ReplyDeleteIt's creative and crazy. I love this. I would not have the patience at all. It would take a lot of time, and a lot of supplies.
ReplyDeleteThis guy obviously has alot of time on his hands and he obviously really likes staples. This is really cool but i would get so frusturated because more than likely i would tip on all the buildings
ReplyDeleteWow I've never seen something so cool! That's a lot of patience and inspires me to look at staples in an entirely different way.
ReplyDeletemoney in the city
ReplyDeleteit's so cute, but I think that it would take some work to do, and I hate doing one project for two months. but I would love it if some did it for me.
ReplyDeleteA city of staples, what in the world will people come up with next. Once again I am astounded at the steadiness and precision needed to make it. Whoever made this is one talented person.
ReplyDeleteWas this based on any particular city or just made from the top of his head?
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very cool idea. I would not want to build a big city with all staples because it would take a long, long time. It would be very time consuming
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty good idea. But you would have to have so much time to do it. I don't think I could be patient enough to finish.
ReplyDeleteThis would take way too long and one box of staples would only get you a little ways in the project so this seems time consuming
ReplyDeletethis is cool, but i would never have the time/patience to do this. I would end up tipping something over. Although these would be fun to do.
ReplyDeletethis would cost a lot! and what if you accidently step on it? i think this guy needs a new medium.
ReplyDeleteTo make something like this you need a very steady hand. I think it would take a very long time to create this. Its very cool.
ReplyDeleteThis type of art is very interesting to me. It is not used with pencils or paints, but with patience and structure. It inspires me to take time on my work to make it a possible master piece.
ReplyDeleteThis City is amazing that is a really good idea. I would have the patients to build it but the urge to destroy it would overtake me. I would create a farming scene.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. I can`t believe someone actually thought of this. Its an incredible idea. It would take so much patience to make.
ReplyDeletecool. is it made out of clay
ReplyDeleteI think this a unique and creative way to make something like this. You would need to be very steady to do this project and have the patience and courage till you get to the end
ReplyDeleteThat is very cool! I dont think i would have enough patience to build a city out of staples! It is a cool idea!
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool! It was an amazing idea by the artist. I wouldn't be able to do this because i don't have the patience.
ReplyDeleteThese creative buildings look like they been made out of legos. They remind of the little round globes with the fake snow and small tall city's sometimes anyway. I love it.
ReplyDeleteTINY CITI!!!!!!!!!!!! TIME FOR GODZILLA TO GO ON A RAMPAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
ReplyDeletewe need a king kong
Deletewould be cool if it was real cities
ReplyDeleteSomeone had a lot of of extra time.
ReplyDeleteMan, this thing is wicked cool. I like the patience it would take, and appreciate the hard work this guy put in. Is it an original city, or is it a model?
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be fun to do. Except i would not have the patience to do that or the time. I also think that it would probably be very fragile and east to break. It might be fun on a smaller scale than this. Cool art
ReplyDeleteI think this is awesome looking. It probably took a long time to do. I wouldn't have the patience to that.
ReplyDeletethis is really cool. i wouldnt have the time or skill to do this. it would take way to long for me to do this.
ReplyDeleteThis looks really fake and photo-shopped(not very good Photoshop) I could do better btw. But I feel like a 5 year old could make this.
ReplyDeletethis is really cool and looks very time consuming. This would take a very long time. It would also be hard to plan
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute and small! I would love to do something like these someday.
ReplyDeleteI think this really cool but would be way cooler if it was a realistic cityscape of a real city, Or they could put staples on the wall and ceiling and recreate that scene from inception.
ReplyDeleteI think this city is good but it looks more like a waist of time to make. It is just plain cool because if you take photo at the right position you will not think it is a miniature building. I will have zero patience making this. I don't even think it's wallpaper worthy.
ReplyDeleteI just love how someone can create something so amazing with just a simple object. It looked almost real, I had to do a double take. Though time consuming, its definitely an eye catcher.
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, this is amazing to see how someone created this out of staples, but honestly I would never ever have the patience to make this artwork. I feel like once I would start it, I would get my first building up then just give up.
ReplyDeleteI like how they had the snow.And there is nothing Wrong about it.
ReplyDeleteI like the snow.And there is nothing Wrong with it.
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool how small it is. It is really creative and I wonder how long took to make it. I would like to do something like this.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool it feels like you can tuch city. IT look like a relly City.
ReplyDeleteThis probably took a lot of precision. I wouldn't be able to concentrate enough to do anything like this. I think this artwork is cool overall.
ReplyDeleteI think this is cool. It would take forever an I would not have the patience for it. Coming back from a big city, I really appreciate how he made it look like an actually city with all the variance in building sizes.
ReplyDeleteI think this is really cool. This is something really unique, that I haven't seen. I think it would take a very long time.
ReplyDeleteIts awesome that he has them all standing up right. I wouldn't ever be able to do it because it would be like a giant domino effect.
ReplyDeleteThis is cool and i would like to try it. I think this will take a long time to finish.I also think I will get mad because I don't like to stay still.
ReplyDeleteThat is really cool i would have never thought of that
ReplyDeleteThis is insane, I wonder how long it took him to do this. He is so talented. I would be scared to trip on fall on all of them. That would be bad. But bravo to the artist, amazing job.
ReplyDeleteThis City is amazing that is a really good idea. I would have the patients to build it but the urge to destroy it would overtake me. I would create a farming scene.
ReplyDeletei think that is just plain cool. i would not have the patience to do this because im not a patince person
ReplyDeletei could not have time to do this! it takes so much time but it looks super cool
ReplyDeleteIt is creative and cool, but I don't have the patience to use staples. I would have the time, but every time it falls down would be too frustrating.
ReplyDeleteThis is very cool. It must take a lot of time to do. i feel like they would be dominos and fall down a lot.
ReplyDeleteThis is so cool. It would take a long time to put all the statues in a certain place without letting them fall.
ReplyDeleteThat is really creative , Someone wouldn't just look at it and say its made out of staples it would take time for a person to figure out .
ReplyDeleteIt is cool that they made a city out of staples. I never thought someone could make anything out of just staples. Wonder how long it took?
ReplyDeletethis is really cool when i first looked at the picture i look like all of the building swere made out of lego but now that i know it is really cool
ReplyDeletethis guy had a lot of time on his hands very cool
ReplyDeleteThis looks really cool. I wouldn't have the patience to do this though. This guy must have had a lot of time to do this
ReplyDeleteThis is would be a very fun project. It'd take forever to create a whole city out of staples. It would also be very frustrating because at any moment one wrong move and it will all fall over like dominoes.
ReplyDeleteIt so cool how a simple thing like staples can be made into a cool piece of art. It would be hard putting them together to make a city. If you put one in the wrong spot it would mess it all up.
