Aggravure is a series by French artist Baptiste Debombourg depicting the fall of Phaeton in an unusual medium. The image is based on The Four Disgracers (1588), engraved by Hendrick Goltzius, after Cornelisz van Haarlem. Debombourg spent nearly 75 hours creating these works, and after the jump you’ll see why.

He used staples! 35,000 of them.
