French artist Pierre Matter is showing the world how beautiful copper can be by creating extraordinary sculptures out of it. Mixing it with resin, , bronze, rubber, aluminium and other materials his creations are simply fantastic. He want us to be aware of how we are living in a time where those two have interfered, and he says that even cows are just milk-making machines. It honestly looks like he has used old junk and shaped in into amazing creations; you can find anything from fishes and sharks to horses and bulls.

Hurricane Katrina killed this clown. According to the photographer, “An abandoned Six Flags amusement park, someone spray painted ‘Six Flags 2012 coming soon’ on the wall above the downed head. But they were clownin.’ Six Flags will never rebuild here.” Welcome to Zombie Land kids! Chained dreams of fun at Six Flags New Orleans, abandoned Jazzland – that’s what Six Flags opened as “Jazzland” in 2000. Some photographers can see past the lifeless amusement park’s decay and desolation, showing us that there is still a chance the place could be cheery and not cheerless. Like a Bad Dream. Just in case you don’t know the scoop on what Hurricane Katrina did to New Orleans and Six Flags, this photo is of New Orleans, LA, on Sept. 14, 2005. Unlike the bleak amusement-less park above, some photographers can still see and share with us the echo of magic in the abandoned theme park Six Flags – even 6 years later in 2011. No lines for dead rides. Watch out for that tree! No one wants a ride?

With a background in Film and Television effects, he has been a commercial sculptor for 11 years, the last 5 working on his own art full time.

Its evolved over the years but a beautifully sculpted figure always inspires me. What are you currently working on? Could you talk through the creative process for one of your recently completed projects? What do you hope the viewer will take away from your sculptures? Which of your projects has been the most rewarding? Your techniques seem similar to movie prop making? Which artists have influenced you, what has been an inspiration? Do you have any advice for people looking to get into sculpting and the creative industry? where can people see your work?
