Action Figures :: Mike Leavitt





These are completely unique! Mike Leavitt has created action figures of artists - in the style of the artist's own work! When I first came across them, I think I looked up most of the artists in his "Art Army" just to see how they related. LINK

Action Figures :: Sillof's Workshop


Sillof re-imagines well known characters for whom we may have seen other action figures before. His site features lots of steampunked characters including the action league, lots of Star Wars, and the Avengers. Also check out his dioramas. You can tell he has a lot of fun doing these. LINK

Paper Art :: Y. Nishimura


The cut and folded paper sculptures by Y. Nishimura are beautiful in their complex simplicity. Sure, that's an oxymoron, but check them all out and you'll see what I mean. LINK

Paper Sculptures :: Laura Cooperman


Shown here is one of her static works, but I really like the way Laura Cooperman incorporates old mechanical devices into her dynamic cut paper sculptures. See them all at her site. LINK

Multifaceted :: Chris Natrop


Chris Natrop uses other materials in addition to paper including glitter and string. Check out all of the work at the site. LINK

Tron a la Francaise

A cool remake of Tron. You have got to watch this video, especially if you're old enough to remember the original movie. LINK

3D Glass Drawings :: Xia Xiaowan

Some really unusual paintings on glass, multiple layers creating a 3D effect I would love to see in person. LINK

Look-a-likes :: Francois Brunelle

An interesting project of photographing unrelated people who look surprisingly alike. LINK

25 Years of the Brown Sisters :: Nicholas Nixon



Nicholas Nixon photographed the four Brown sisters every year for 25 years, from 1975 to 1999. See the entire series at his site. LINK
