I think they're pretty! I also think that this peter guy who made them has too much time on his hands.

/yes, i realize i just typed that while posting in a comment thread on fark

I think you're right.
But it's been awhile and they are still very cool.

"Looking Back" should be on display somewhere.

This link was definitely greenlit before. I remember all of these. Still very cool, though.

No, more than awesome, not awake enough yet to come up with a proper description. I would love to see these paper sculptures in person.

These are pretty darn cool. I just spent about 5-10 minutes showing these to my coworkers. I'll have to bookmark this guy's site when I get home.

What's up with the pantless duck humping the egg?

irockalot: What's up with the pantless duck humping the egg?

It's supposed to represent longing, lonliness, & what came first: the chicken, the egg, or the performer.

Hell, I want to see a time-lapse of their construction.

I bet your right Subby, but I'm still timing you.

you mean you are heading off to the gym in 26 mins therefore you have time to look at the sculptures.. only takes 26 mins ;)

your comment confuses me. see, the way I always thought it worked was, "if you are discriminating against someone else whose skin color is different than yours, then you are being racist".

I'm pretty sure that the actual reason for the discrimination needs to be the skin color, and not just a convenient fact used to gain pity and win a case or something... not that anything like that would ever be done... *ahem*

I think the dragon at the end of this video wins for worlds best paper sculpture. (Origami)
I swear to jebus this is not a rickroll

Im not usually a big fan of contemporary art. I find most of it pretensious. But this stuff is amazing. The detail is astonishing and it really seems almost impossible that the artist was able to create these pieces of art out of just paper and glue. What a brillant idea and creative use of paper. The buildings and the ruins, not to mention the skeletal pieces are just straight up awesome. Thanks for the link.

I agree exactly. However, his performance art is pretty terrible. Actually, I don't like anything that has to do with his 'Dying Swan.' That being said, this paper cut stuff is incredible.

artist's description of his drawings:

"Like the egg is whole and circular, so is many of the drawings in their self-reference. The duck sees eggs all over, everything becomes eggs, as if he can't escape his small self-contained world. The circle can't be broken without the egg and the Ducks whole life breaks. Only I as an artist can break the circle, by making it visible. In that sense I think that the tragicomic Ugly Duckling to a certain extend is my alter ego. The aspect of self-creation also borders towards subjects as sexuality, relationships and loneliness."

/what?
