Great Paper Sculpture Book



In response to Eunice's post on Peter Callesen's paper art, an art form that I used to experiment with myself, I have a great beginner's book on paper art which guides you through all sorts of complex paper sculpture, paper making, pop-up art techniques, origami and much more.

You can get a used version of this book for super cheap at Amazon. Or if anyone wants to borrow it, it's been part of my library for many years!

The Work of Kozyndan



You probably already know his art, mostly recognizable by the peeps in our industry from his cover on Giant Robot's magazine. I'm a huge fan of traditional Japanese woodblock prints, so what I admire greatly about his work, is his ability to mimic that traditional style but with a modern imagination. If you like this style and haven't already perused some of his work, check out this link!

Book cover art
using vintage pulp fiction paperbacks. Quirky and pretty inventive I think.

Photo Planets




I've been spending a lot of my free time creating these photo planets. It's a little addicting. They work best with a panoramic stitch shot with a fisheye lens for a nice 3D look, but any panoramic shot can work using the polarizer feature in photoshop.
