Stan Munro Toothpick Art
2 02 2010Stan Munro started Toothpick City in 2003 with his wife supporting him all the way. She even helped him spend the money when Toothpick City was sold in 2005!
Right now he is working at Toothpick City II and you could help him suggesting a temple or tower. “Toothpick City II represents mankind’s quest for the heavens, whether spiritual or physical. The exhibit will honor architectural achievement, religious diversity, and historical accuracy,” Stan says.
