  • mm all that glue really give it a pop

  • Original description:

    This image is made of roughly 7,000 matches. I colored some black and some white (with help).

    This is part of a series of pieces that I am titling "goodbye art" because there is nothing left for me to keep at the end. I make a new piece each week and have a theme, the theme for the month is "Fire" so each piece will involve fire in some way.

    Check out my art at

    url removed

    Music is by Ben Abrahamson

    his myspace page. url removed.

  • This made me cry.

  • great

  • Please come back Jimi!

  • yo jummy past me the light

  • Why doesn't this sound anything like Hendrix? Is this some rare afterhours bootleg or something?

  • @mikeusat because it isn't by hendrix.  some guy called Ben Abrhamson?

  • ' I beg you to burn ! '

  • My band and i did a tribute to jimi hendrix last month in front of our entire school. Please check it out and let me know what you think.

  • You know, I think Jimi would really like this is he saw it today~ :3 ♥

  • this is cool but mean if u were a real hendrix fan u wouldnt burn tht!

  • Amazing--this video is still going strong. Phil is the man!! The Hendrix-y music is original besides the Star Spangled Banner quote, and was recorded direct to a Boss Micro BR.

    and let Jimi take over

  • omfg and he lit it on fire, yur my fucking hero!!!!!! R.I.P JIMI!!!

  • why didn't you use "Fire" as the song. Don't you think it's more fitting than whatever is playing in the background which is not jimi Hendrix, at least him playing. Amazing job none the less

  • who is playing the song?

    it`s not Jimi!

  • Jimi is a GOD

  • god i miss jimi hendrix...

  • what's this song?

  • star spangled banner duhhhh

  • sick but it kind of looks like santana a little.....this is still sick

  • seriously you have crazy talent and patience

  • Ow shit!!! AWESOME.

  • YOU SIR HAVE SO ELOQUENTLY SYMOLIZED WHAT JIMI HENDRIX DID AND WAS---PURE, as Heraclitus would say ENERGY OF GODLY FORCE, FIRE---

    AND WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO HIM,

    IN THAT HE WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND BY SO MUCH OF THE LOWLY HUMANITY SWARMING UPON HIM, AND SYMBOLIZED SO WELL THE ARTIST'S IMPULSE OF CREATION AND DESTRUCTION, AGGRESSION THAT THIS VIDEO ART/PERFORMANCE ART MUST BE COUNTED AS ONE OF THE GREATEST OF THE ERALY 21ST CENTURY. To the nay-babblers & blob-moralists: Leap to the flames

  • 1:33 AHH, MY HAIR!

  • Hendrix Will Live On

  • pause at 1:14 awesum

  • yo where can I get this song, it is win!

  • come to WOODFEST to see the best Hendrix tribute !

  • Bet that room smelled quite strong afterwards.

  • awesome.

  • yo lo pongo en reversa en mas cool

  • This song really gets good at 1:45

  • wow the ending gave me chills

  • Put it on full screen, it's kinda sad.

  • this video shows that jimmy burned out and didn't fade away. legend.

  • nice work

  • NO NOT KIL JIMMY HENDRIX

  • can anybody tell what the music is?

  • its by hendrix, my guess is part of one of his songs, and some crazy shit he threw in, but it's live. Part of it is the star spangled banner.

  • whyyyyyyy????????????

  • What diligence!

  • That was all matches? That was awesome.

  • i love this art, how do you get the matches to stay together and not fall down?

  • um he probably stacked them

  • good guess genius

  • it was perfect at 1:10

  • there is only one man who is as musical and inspirational as hendrix and that man is robert nesta marley

  • true

  • awesome

  • jimi would be proud.....

  • yes he would!

  • Is there a program you use that can create these images and gives you instructions or are you an artistic genius? I think your an artistic genius! Awesome work man!

  • the reds burn faster than the whites.

    that was awsome. i wonder how long it took him to make it.

    JIMI HENDRIX IS AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Philinthecircle

    You need help.

  • valla currelo!! guitarrista genial donde los halla, teneis una camiseta suya en camisetas doctor-hyde (españa), mu chula.

  • amazing, i'd like to know how long that took you?

  • r.i.p jimi

  • R.I.P Jimi Hendrix, Best there is, best there was and best there ever will be =.(

  • ya!!

  • Rock on!

  • pause at 1:12 COOL

  • very nice, man

  • this gives me chills

  • You did good my friend. It fits his personality so well; the burning and the huge flames.

  • Jimi did a lot for the culture of your country , and he brought so much for the history of music just him alone.

    it must be said by someone anyway.

    what you're protecting should go to trash, for the good of your country and the world. i just feel sorry for you that you can't realise how stupid are your values, aggresive towards one who brought so much to the world, to the music. there's a before hendrix, and a after hendrix.

    but i know what you think: not changing anything,not thinking

  • I think Jimi would've liked this

  • oh my god!

  • whats the name of this song in the background.

    ps: i love all of your vids your great

  • you don't recognize the national anthem? that's Jimi's version

  • that's not jimi playing.

  • What a fitting tribute to one of the most iconic guitarists of all time

  • mis respetos, te quedo genial y para la posteridad!!! you rock

  • Thats not the way Hendrix died, man.. He choked on his own alchoholic vomit. Haha maybe you should do a piece with red wine glasses instead.

  • he's done one with wine

  • I make a new piece each week and have a theme, the theme for the month is "Fire" so each piece will involve fire in some way.

    hes already done one with wine, and the most famous stunt jimi is probably known for is setting his guitar on fire.

    Seems fitting to me

  • Actually it was barbiturates.

  • i like the guitar lick lol..

  • dude why did you burn it??

  • It's called goodbye art because he destroys what he makes at the end XD

  • sooo awesome dude!!

  • its too bad he burned it im pretty sure a lot of people would be willing to buy that o_O

  • FnA mycroooo, hes like shakesphear.. only not a fag

  • I love that you had the balls to burn it. It sucks to see it go but burning it was necessary to complete the artwork.

  • ugh i wish you hadnt burned it... but it was still beautiful

  • You can't delete Jimi Hendrix like that mentally tard, Jimi Hendrix staying live forewer and hes guitar will be listened forewer.

  • you did it like anyone can did it before, then you destroyed...

    like Hendrix hahahahaha

  • I love how fitting the destruction of the piece was to Jimi's music and life.

  • i love that you can make such beautiful art

    in places or with materials that you know will eventually be destroyed.

    true artist

  • this is art

  • this made me cry

  • Esse cara eh o melhor.... Muito Bom!!!

  • YOU ARE COOL! But it would hurt me to burn something like that!

  • Great Idea thats what i call ART
