David Kracov is an American sculptor, painter and animator.
After receiving a degree from the Rhode Island School of Design, he moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue a career in animation. He was commissioned by the Holocaust Museum of St Petersburg, Florida to create now the world-famous sculpture which depicts the Tazmanian Devil tearing the roof off of a boxcar to release hundreds of hand-painted butterflies – which represent the souls of the 1 million children who lost their lives in the Holocaust. David now adds one single butterfly to every piece that he creates, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. Sculpture “Reflections” was created as a tribute to those who lost their lives on 9/11, it depicts the New York skyline, with butterflies soaring towards the sky, where the Towers once stood. In the reflections below, the Towers can be seen.

I Create Highly Realistic Miniature Worlds. When a budding artist has a burning desire to create a vignette, they don’t let the lack of building materials stop them.
This was exactly what happened to me when I started to make miniatures. I used any resources I could scrounge: aluminum foil, paper clips, plastic rods, foam board, coffee for weathering; anything that held possibilities. Born in Karbala, about 100km from Baghdad, I spent my childhood with my mother and aunt. My father had been imprisoned as a dissident by the Saddam Hussein regime, so I retreated to my love for art and reading for solace. Main2. Ellen Jewett - Front Page. EXHIBITIONS - SCULPTURES. A 3D Printed Chess Set That's Also a Micro Planter. How adorable is this chess set by XYZ Workshop?
Loosely based on Bauhaus-style chess pieces, this 3D printed set cleverly incorporates nature into an otherwise serious game. Each piece can hold a different herb or succulent, giving each its own unique personality. The strong geometric shapes of the planters are softened by the natural elements. The chess set can be used indoors and out, and it’s up to the players to also choose whatever textures, colors, and smell belong to the pieces. Mister Finch. Save.

I like gummy bears as much as the next girl, but I never once have considered making my clothes out of the little guys.
Designers Hissa Igarashi and Sayuri Marakumi have different ideas and they looked at a dress by famed designer Alexander McQueen and decided they were going to do their own version entirely of gummy bears. The dress weighs 220lbs (twice as much as the model I bet) and was made by hand gluing the gummies to a vinyl sheet. It took three people to get the dress to the shoot which appeared in the debut issue of Twelv magazine. MICHIHIRO MATSUOKA. Livio De Marchi Virtual Museum. Sculptures Made From Shattered Glass.

They say that patience is a virtue, but the amount of patience that it would take Nikolai Aldunin to sculpt these microscopic masterpieces should qualify him for sainthood.
The Russian creative uses his 1985 microscope to sculpt accurate replicas of guns, tanks, bicycles and even a saddle with stirrups for a flea. According to TIME Aldunin works between the beats of his heart to keep his hands still using superglue, syringes, and toothpicks to create his miniatures. Aldunin offers advice for this line of work: “You musn’t get into a state of worry.
Everything that you feel in your soul is transmitted to your hands.” Wild Creatures on the Wall: Dr. Seuss Like Taxidermy. Taxidermy is one of those art forms which can be quite controversial, both as a question of taste and for ethical reasons ranging from animal rights to conservation.
However, it’s hard to dislike these charmingly imaginative characters by sculptor Carl Turner. Channeling the spirit of the late, great Dr. Seuss, he’s created an animal menagerie of mostly cute animals – which look much more filled with life than stuffed for preservation. It’s well known that Dr. The artwork of Yosiell Lorenzo - Sculptures. Sawdust Bear Makes Things. Danwebb - Sculpture - Sculpture. Amazing Chess Sets Created by Famous Artists. Sculptures by by J★RYU.
