Taxidermy that Looks Better on Paper

Artist, Anna-Wili Highfield, sculpts taxidermy animals from torn paper and copper pipe. It's almost a humane gesture, but just think of all those poor damn trees that died for this art.

The Parts are Greater than the Whole

Sculptor, James Hopkins, created a series of perspective sculptures that tell different stories from different angles. Some familiar characters were constructed from abstract shapes, but the Itchy and Scratchy sculpture being made from weaponry are especially ace.

Off the Roll Tape Sculpture Contest

Another find from DT. Scotch tape recently sponsored a tape sculpture contest to show the endless creative possibilities of a typically unrecognized medium, clear packing tape. The Grand Prize winner was Elizabeth K. from Wisconsin who recreated her pet goldfish at a mammoth scale. She won $5,000 and a case of, what else, Scotch tape!

Someone has time and glue on their hands.

Conrad Garvey had this one to share. Stan Munro is racing towards a March 2010 deadline to complete his toothpick city which will contain a record-breaking 50 buildings at 1:164 scale. Check out the other images on his website. The amount of detail is to the point where you can make out facial expressions on the sculptures at St. Peters Cathedral.

Fabio-lous Marble

Fabio Viale reinterprets the classic medium of marble by sculpting the marble to imitate modern materials (i.e. styrofoam, rubber, paper, plexi). Every piece above is made from marble!
