Artist "Paints" with Gunpowder and Finishes His Work by Setting It on Fire

Artist Danny Shervin spends an incredible amount of time perfecting his nature-inspired imagery only to set it on fire once he’s done. For a conventional work of art, this would probably be the end, but it’s the contrary for Shervin—the flames bring his pieces to life.

No, you did not read those numbers wrong. The Flyboard Air comes from the insanely inventive team at Zapata Racing, which is led by the—apparently—insanely brave Franky Zapata. If the Zapata company name doesn't ring a bell, its original Flyboard probably will. The part-watercraft, part-aircraft (nicknamed "dolphin jetpack") blew our collective minds when it appeared back in 2011 and showed riders springing out of the water and then flying and looping tens of meters into the air.
