Jean Shin is pretty cool. First, we saw her bizarre melted wave of vinyl records (we hope no Journey vinyl was used.) Now, we’re taking a look at Jean Shin’s TEXTile, an interactive sculpture that’s comprised of 22,528 recycled keyboard keys that are fashioned in a way to make it appear as a tapestry. At its base is a customized ...

Playing with paper can be quite enjoyable, so long as Hunter Stabler doesn’t show up to outshine your own Chuck Norris papercraft. He’s the Philadelphia-based paper artists whose responsible for the work you see above. An elaborate skull made up completely of carefully cut up paper. It’s an excellent hobby to show off and if you can create sculptures like ...

Reminiscent of the City Foundry Bots, in comes a new breed of artsy sculptures made from old tech junk. Jeremy Mayer cleverly reworks old-fashioned typewriters into life-like humanoid sculptures. Occasionally, the wild feral cat is thrown into the mix, but most of his portfolio consists of bipedal robots. The intricacy of design is impeccable. You’d never think all those parts ...

I wonder if you can get a model train set to emulate the subway… Link [via]

We’ve seen a lot of artists this month. From Nikki Cook‘s comics to Adam Stennett‘s oil paintings, we just can’t get enough! The latest to grace our inbox is Korean artist Jean Shin.

Like the City Foundry Bots or those mini-motorcycles made of old watch parts, these sculptures are made in a similar way but take it to the next level: they’re animated. We aren’t sure what mechanical artist Nemo Gould is ...

Cute or Creepy? What do you think?

Fancy art? Same here. Whether it be an abandoned gas station gone quilt crazy or a Janis Joplin-looking smug face made up of 7,563 dice, we appreciate the artistic drive and innovative approaches to ideas that designers come up with. That’s why when I saw Dave Umlas’ sculpture I just HAD to write about it because like many idiotic cavemen, ...

The Japanese aren’t the only ones who are Star Wars crazy. The fans know the difference between an actual Millennium Falcon and one made out of batter. Japan held a Star Wars celebration for fans of the epic sci-fi saga to come show off their designs and art related to Star Wars, like that AT-AT from the streets. Bonnie Burton ...

This is a material skeleton, living in a skeletal world. You can chastise me for the shitty Madonna pun, but don’t even think about giving artist Brian Dettmer any shit. He’s the guy who crafted this cassette tape skeleton. The only text I can make out is a big ARISTA Records logo and some tape called “Get The Knack.” It’s ...
