Um, who made it? Where is it displayed?

(I'm guessing Art-O-Matic in DC...but only because there's a faint hint of the US Capitol, plus the building and neighborhood seems to be pretty officey and not museum-like.)

I know boingboing is all about sharing interesting stuff, but sometimes a little more info is necessary to justify a post -- especially when the post is just a photo of someone else's artwork, attribution and a little background are crucial.

Just saw this, and yes, it is my Artomatic2009 submission. This is the show's last weekend - come see Artomatic in Washington DC if you can!

Here's the Make: Online how-to:
