Shrimp Date

A month ago, you saw the A Shrimp's Daily Routine, featuring automata by Italian artist Amedeo Capelli. Now we get to see another slice of life as the shrimp gets an invitation to a picnic! Of course, he has to prepare something delicious to take first.

Capelli explains that he's in a "shrimp's era" right now because he likes them, and so do his followers. In an interview at Instagram, he explains what makes his shrimp so charming (in Italian with English subtitles). It mainly comes down to the fact that any human activity is funny when a shrimp does it. There are many of his shrimp automata available at Etsy. (via Boing Boing)
