Although we have covered Olaf Breuning's artistic [photographic projects](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photography-subjects-olaf-bruening) before, it seems that he has more tricks in his hat. Actually, one Trend Hunter did allude to his sculpture work, and now I'm here to show you some of his most recent work in this vein.

With beautiful marble as his canvas, Olaf Breuning has created two new sculptures with the childish sentiments, "No Yes No Yes No Yes" and "I Want More And More And More And More," engraved on them.
