Came across this via Eddie Campbell’s blog.
Brian Dettmer carves into books revealing the artwork inside, creating complex layered three-dimensional sculptures.
Check them out here, really simple idea, but really nicely done.
I’m not a huge fan of this Polish artists work to be honest, but this one piece I thought was pure genius. The deformed little fellow just won’t give up - he knows, obviously, that as an angel he should be on a stone pedestal too.
Go for it little fellow!
‘I Might Die’ by Mark Bodnar. Yes, I know it might seem I’m on some morbid theme, but it’s co-incidence I assure you.
Actually it was the following piece, ‘The Hardest Part’ that caught my eye initially.. which might not be morbid. Actually, looking at it now I’m not so sure!
‘The hardest Part’ is done in Acrylic on canvas, 28″ x 35″ and would set you back $4,000 from gallery Nineteen Eighty Eight.
One evening I stumbled upon a Spanish dollmaker called GriXx who documents her work on Flickr. Her dolls are wonderful - sexy, cute and creepy all at once.
It’s worth going through her entire photostream, starting at the end and working back. That way you will get to see the progression of certain dolls from plans to completion.
Her photos show wonderful distressed and broken dolls, cute little ceramic creations and wonderful sketches.
But it’s the dolls that really shine. They are wonderfully detailed, the work that must go into them is incredible and the finished products are disconcertingly lifelike and soulless at the same time.
I know it must seem like every time my sister posts something I blog about it*, but it can’t be helped if she keeps posting great stuff.
Ok, I won’t post about her next couple of posts, I’ll just assume you’re checking them out yourselves - but I had to post about this one because I was surprised at the style - it caught my eye because it’s a new style for her. Or at least it’s new to me.
Check out Janies post to get a link to a biger version.
Love to see more in this style. More please.
Oh and just in case you’re not familiar with it, Janie did this for Illustration Friday:
Illustration Friday is a weekly creative outlet/participatory art exhibit for illustrators and artists of all skill levels. It was designed to challenge participants creatively. We believe that every person has a little creative bone in their body. Illustration Friday just gives a no-pressure, fun excuse to use it. No clients looking for a particular thing. No one judging the outcome of the work. It’s a chance to experiment and explore and play with visual art. So welcome, novices and pros alike.
