More papercrafts! This time not by me!

[constance]

My lovely friend coco_palmolive, kindly breaking an internet-long self-imposed email forwarding ban, sent me some photos of paper art several weeks ago, just because she knew I'd like them. And I've been meaning to upload them to share ever since, but have kept forgetting.



Click on the images to see them in a larger size. eta: I did a little research and discovered that they're by Peter Callesen. His site is definitely worth the click. :)

Those are fantastic! Thanks for posting them!

Wow! I am impressed! I love the avalanche and the canoeing and the hanging and skeleton 2 the best, but I love all of them!

the large-scale stuff on his website is SO COOL, but the smaller things are even more amazing; so intricate! i am ridiculously impressed.

This has got to be my new favorite artist!

These are totally mesmerizing. I can't even begin to contemplate the x-acto skills that go into even the simplest-looking of them.

Even before I opened the cut, I felt you might be talking about Callesen. He is indeed the awesomest and I have not seen some of those, so thank you so much for this post. I love this one:

Sorry about the previous comment, am in a hurry :).

Aren't they? They make happy whenever I come back to look at them. Which, I have to admit, is often.

I'm not sure I evven have a favorite. I'll think it's the one I'm currently looking at, and then I see the next one and change my mind.

I can't imagine the patience and skill it takes to make that smaller stuff. I love them the most, too, I think. :)

He is perfectly spiffing, isn't he!?

[tofty.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. I keep looking at the details and shaking my head in awe. :D

[tofty.livejournal.com]

Oh, I like that one too! Have you seen any of them in person, by any chance? I would love to, wouldn't you? They must be so much more satisfying in person.

I love the paper cuts. The performance art is.... well.... I guess I've never liked performance art. I prefer plays.

Oh yeah- I saw some of his work at the Frieze Art Fair in London- 'Mazing

[tilney.livejournal.com]

I haven't, but I agree: it would be amazing to see all that in scale and full detail. Will be on the lookout!

I keep going back to look again. It's like the crack of the art world.
