Dalton - Artist

Artist Dalton, who is originally from Brazil, but now works as a carpenter in Connecticut, USA, has been carving art into the tips of pencils for about 25 years.

I first saw his work about a year ago when a friend of mine posted a jpeg on Facebook, but the image had no title and I had no idea who it was by. Then today I found a link to his work and so decided to share it with you all.

Dalton creates his pieces by hand, with only a razor blade, a sewing needle and sculpting knife and without the use of a magnifying glass.

I particularly like his 'cemetery collection' -a Styrofoam display case which house all of his broken designs on pinheads.

Lucas Chimello Simões - Artist

Lucas Chimello Simões is and artist/architect from Sao Paulo, Brazil. His work work is similar to posts I have made before here and here. But he has really honed the technique of cutting, layering and folding images to create a brilliant juxtaposition (yeah I said it) of stand out graphical pieces with a really trippy, beautifully artistic edge.

Jum Nakao - Paper Dresses

Japanese-Brazilian Jum Nakao works in many mediums including art, costumes, design and animation, but usually fashion is a consistent theme. He recently created these incredibly ornate and delicate dresses for the Paper Fashion exhibition at the MoMu in Antwerp which gained press because the models ripped themselves out of the dresses which must have taken weeks to create at the end of the show.

As much as I am in love with all things paper, I am also loving the beautiful old school style of the photographs combined with the space age Lego haircuts of the models.

Boca - Motion Design Artist

Sao Paulo born artist Boca's (aka Marcos Ceravolo's) portfolio has some really cool videos on it that I couldn't upload directly to the site, so you should go check those out. He also has some pretty sweet art too. I have just posted a random assortment here. My favourite is so the cat GIF, it's amazing.
