[www.keralites.net] Arte con papel

 

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net This particular series is appropriately titled, "Paper Zoo."

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

To make the art, he starts by observing real-life animals and their movements.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

He takes numerous sketches that he will later use as reference for his paper art.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net He then cuts up thousands of tiny pieces of paper and pastes them together to form each animal.

The texture he is able to achieve with this technique is astounding.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net Given that he's only working with white paper, the details must be exactly right in 

order to create the appropriate depth and shadowing.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net It's incredibly delicate work.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Each small piece can take many weeks to complete.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net While the bigger ones can take months, or even years.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

His work has been featured in National Geographic, 

as well as numerous galleries and art shows all over the world.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

He uses X-ACTO knives, scalpels, and scissors in the construction of his critters.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net Fur is an especially difficult texture to create, so animals make for a distinct challenge.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Feathers are also very hard to replicate.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net Just look at the texture on the hummingbird's belly.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

They almost look like they could be alive!

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net Calvin's Facebook page and website feature a whole lot more of his amazing works and they're really worth your time.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

Amazing.

Fun & Info @ Keralites.net

The commitment these amazing pieces of art require is just mind-blowing. Can you imagine how frustrating it would be if you messed up a little detail on those pieces? Talent like this just doesn't come around that often.
