Who knew there'd be such a market for railroad miniatures?

I know how they feel.

I have a Fargo snowglobe I got when I bought the special edition years ago.

It has Margie holding a gun at the guy shoving his friend in a woodchipper.

1/2 the "snow" is white. The rest is red.

I've had it on my desk for years. People don't know what to think.

An interesting gallery, but given other recent articles here I'm surprised no one has brought up the unique creative process involved in these artists' work:

Martin and Muñoz are known for their extensive collection bizarre and often tragic or cult-related real-life incidents which happened to be caught on film. In their recent work the artists have generally chosen to tilt-shift these images and recontextualize them as snow-globes to symbolically "contain" the situations and thereby make them more accessible to the public.

I have the same Fargo wood chipper snow globe.

I have both Fargo snowglobes, the other one is Margie on her knees in the snow next to the bloody dead body and overturned car. It's awesome!

I'd like to see an Overlook Hotel snow globe. Redrum!
