Miniature Art on the Tip of Pencil by Dalton Ghetti
Many artists have used pencils to create works of art – but Dalton Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils. Dalton, who works as a carpenter, has been making his tiny graphite works for about 25 years. A sculpture of Elvis Presley wearing shades, carved from a single pencil. The 49-year-old said: “At school I would carve a friend’s name into the wood of a pencil and then give it to them as a present. I experimented sculpting with different materials, such as chalk, but one day I had an eureka moment and decided to carve into the graphite of a pencil” A tiny saw, using both the wood and graphite of a single pencil Dalton uses three basic tools to make his incredible creations – a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife. The longest Dalton has spent on one piece was two and half years on a pencil with interlinking chains. “I don’t make any money from it but that’s not what it’s about for me. Carved from the graphite in a normal pencil: A tiny hammer [ad1]

This creative artist was born in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. He Studied graphic arts and sculpture and I also have a degree in journalism. Lets take a look at some of his awesome works that he calls “Drawing Vs Photography” or “Imagination Vs Reality”. Jacek Yerka’s Surrealist World Jacek Yerka was born in Toruń, Poland, in 1952, where he later studied fine arts and graphic design. He was pressed by his university teachers to avoid realism and details in painting as they tried to guide him after the trends of the period. In spite of all that pressure, the artist preferred the classic style of the Flemish painting which influenced his works and can be felt while viewing them. The themes found in his works range from some strange beasts to wonderful landscapes with bizarre architecture, and include images stolen from his childhood, like the kitchen at his grandmother’s house. Yerka says about the times of his childhood: “For me, the 1950s were a kind of Golden Age … If I were, for instance, to paint a computer, it would definitely have a pre-war aesthetic to it.” Take a look at the showcase that includes some of his best works and enchant your eyes with that surrealist world of Jacek Yerka.

Wooden animals Art & Design We can hardly believe our eyes! These animals aren't real but carved out of wood. The talented Russian artist Sergei Bokov worked hard on these animals. Terry Border Makes Everyday Objects Come Alive (18 pics) Mail-Order Bride Artist Terry Border is one of those people who has a secret gift. He can take boring, everyday objects and make them come alive! In fact, his art can be appreciated for the clever thought behind it. What I love most about his work, though, is that it can be enjoyed by everyone. Young or old, we can all get a good chuckle out of his hilarious, bent objects. Today, I asked Terry where he gets his ideas. "Basically, I get ideas for photographs when everyday objects remind me of something else. "Then again, sometimes an idea just pops into my head.
