Russian Prison Art


All of these sculptures were made from pen knives! Not sure if the information is correct that they were made by Russian prisoners nor the time of their creation though I presume from the strong communist stylings of many that they are from a bygone era. I like the cars and planes the most. LINK

Fantastic Characters :: Stephane Halleaux

Stephane Halleaux is making sculptures that one can only imagine realized in animated films. Each is more fantastic than the previous! I love the cars and the bicyclist the most but all are amazing. LINK

Illustration :: Vladimir Gvozdev

Vladimir Gvozdev, aka Gvozd, has many different styles of illustration, but my favorites are these illustrations of mechanical animals. His site is in Russian, so a little tough to navigate. Here is the link directly to the gallery page. LINK

Illustration :: Keith Thompson


My favorites among Keith Thompson's illustrations can be found in the vehicles gallery on his site. I love his color palettes! Check out his personal site with at least 100 different illustrations! LINK

Sculpture :: Pierre Matter


Amazing imagination and wonderful craftsmanship. The thing that is really amazing about some of these works is their scale. See his personal site. LINK

Also, there are more images at this blog. LINK

And another site with a good selection. LINK

The Art of the Can :: Red Bull


Red Bull has been sponsoring creative competitions for artwork made from Red Bull cans since 1997 and has exhibitions all over the world. Some of the submissions are truly amazing. Examples vary in scale from minute to grandiose. I'm guessing the extra caffeine helped these artists complete their works. LINK

Coca Cola Locusts :: Thomas Broomé

I've included pictures of the Coca Cola locusts here, but Thomas seems to drink other brand of soda also. You can see more flavors and brands at his site, and a few pictures of the locusts installed en masse. LINK
