People check out a huge image of a newborn baby surrounded by hundreds of colorful rubber ducks at the Santa Monica Pier on Saturday.  The image is by Belgium artist Wim Tellier and is titled,'Yenno' after his 8 month-old son. The image is printed on PVC-flex material and weighs 400 kg and measures 6500 square feet. After the exhibitions internationally, a book will be produced about the project. In order to raise funds Wim Tellier decided to divide the 600 m squared picture into 600 pieces each measuring 1 m squared for sale now to be distributed at the end of the exhibition's tour around the world. The pieces are numbered from 1 to 600 and the number is also the price. Purchases can --be made via the website www.w-wish.be.
