We always tell people "think big"... "dream big"... "the sky's the limit"... "the world is your oyster"... Well, in this case, canvas.  With the help of express shipping company DHL, Erik Nordenankar has created the "Biggest Drawing in the World " measuring 40,076,592 meters x 4,009,153 meters.  Using a GPS unit packed in a "Pelican" hardcase as his pencil, Erik shipped the case with specific cooridnates enabling the world to become the paper.  55 days later, when the case arrived back home, Erik downloaded the GPS information and the single "stroke" of 110,664 kilometers generated a simple self-portrait. 

Check out the video below and then hit the jump for more pics and another behind the scenes.

Oh, did I mention that Derry, Northern Ireland was one of the stops when we were there?  If you look closely, you can actually see us waving at the plane.
