Art Inspiration Wednesday!

I'm always inspired by what people can create from simple, everyday objects. I found the above photo (allthingspaper.net) on Pinterest.com and it made me wonder what other cool art made from books are out there. Surprisingly, a lot! I bet there are a lot of people who are outraged by the idea of cutting up books, but I just see it as a form of recycling. I know I definitely have a few books that would make better art pieces than reading material.

I love this! Clever way to give new life to old pulp novels. Art by Thomas Allen.

Amazingly intricate. Art by Brian Dettmer.

Another amazing piece! Art from CasaSugar.com

Art Inspiration Wednesday!

Wacom Tablet Review doesn't seem to have much to do with sculpture, but I think Wacom tablets do. Many artists use Wacom tablets to design 3D renderings of their sculptures before even starting a piece. I don't know if the following artists did specifically, but I found them inspiring regardless.

Haroshi - Hammerhead shark made out of recycled skateboards.

Allen and Patty Eckman - Paper sculpture using a method they invented.
