Instead of marble or bronze, he sculpts using discarded food and electric cable.
And, rather than a hammer and chisel, he carves his works using his teeth.
Meet the first ever genuine rat to make it in the contemporary art world. And he’s called Tony Blair.
The talented rodent has created such masterpieces as a gnawed four-leaf clover entitled, Am I Still Lucky?, a chewed blanket (Tracey Emin, watch out) and a sculptured avocado.

If you thought USB Humping Dog was funny, this second generation is even funnier! Watch this USB Exercise Dog as he relentlessly rips his abs to perfection! You can actually see his wash-board like ripped abs! The world would be a very dull place if it wasn’t for the inventors out there with enough time on their hands to come up with something so stratospherically pointless as this USB Dogs. Well you’ve got to do something with your USB ports, so you might as well have a laugh with them. Pop this muscle pup into your PC’s USB port and watch as he starts high-speed-pumping on your machine, yes really. This pint size second version or our worryingly popular USB Dog series may not be the next best thing since sliced… USB Humping Dog, but it’s whole lot funnier.

MILAN, Italy (AP) ― Masked thieves drilled a tunnel and broke into a jewelry showroom as employees were preparing for a VIP showing, making off with gold, diamonds and rubies in a brazen daylight heist, the jeweler said.
The bags of jewels stolen Sunday from Damiani ― maker of the diamond bracelet that graced Oscar winner Tilda Swinton’s wrist ― included gold, platinum, diamonds and rubies, though apparently no pearls.
The losses are being inventoried and Damiani is not issuing estimates, but the jeweler’s chief executive dismissed a $7.52 million figure cited by the Italian media.

A Chinese man has built a cage for his car to stop thieves kidnapping parts and demanding ransom money.
Mr Zhang, of Jilin city, says his car’s computerised engine management system was stolen twice.
“Each time I found a note clipped under the wiper, with phone and bank-account numbers,” he said.
Each time, Zhang had to wire 500 yuan (£35) to get the part back, reports City Evenings.
He has now built a cage to keep his car safe outside his home.
A police spokesman urged car owners not to pay ransom money to thieves and to contact the authorities instead.
