The difference between origami and papercraft is that origami classicly only uses on peices of paper to create a sculpture, whilst paper artists use multipul peices of paper.
Bert Simons – Incredibly Lifelike Portrait Sculptures
(images via: BertSimons.com)
Eerie, faceted 3-D paper heads float on a wall like grotesque hunting trophies. They’re photo-realistic replicas of Rotterdam papercraft artist Burt Simons and his friends, created when Simons had a ‘mid-life crisis’ in 2006 and realized there wasn’t much of him that would be left behind. So, Simons decided to ‘clone himself’, sculpting his head in 3D and using photographs to texture it. He uses a computer program to flatten out the head into printable pieces of paper and then assembles them with glue. Simons says having his clones around helped him “get used to his bald spot”.I believe these are incredable especially since they are made out of such a flimsy material.
Haruki Nakamura – Moving Parts Paper Sculptures
Unlike most paper artists Nakamura actually makes cogs and some peices actual move and work, I find this highley impresive.
Eric Joisel – Detailed Classic Monster Figures
This artist is able to use incredable details to make amaizingly detailed sculptures.
