Bert Simmons

Bert Simmons is a Dutch artist who makes lifelike sculptures out of paper. He uses technology (Bender) in order to map out the positions on the person's face using black dots to then print out a mask like paper, that he then uses many to create these life like sculptures. Example below:




He uses the pieces created with Bender that are 2D in order to create these 3D sculptures. It can require countless hours of time to cut and put together these pieces, but they're really awesome. It's cool to know that there are other ways to help in making 3D art like this. 
Below are some other pieces from his collection:

Daniel Bel (Free Blog)

Daniel Bel Daniel Bel is a 3d artist who uses computer graphics for his work. He does computer sculpting and he's and art director. He was born in Buenos Aires in Argentina. He's been doing this work for about 15 years. He's well known across the internet and a lot of his work is well known as well. The piece most people know is called Beowulf 3D and it was created using 3D Max, Vray and Zbrush. I even found his Facebook page haha. So he is known online pretty well and his works are so good and detailed and they make me think of video games since his sculptures or most of them are of characters like Batman or Superman. Below are 5 of his works:

Wire Sculptors

Wire Sculptors Elizabeth Berrien: So when I was trying to figure out the people to do this blog on, the cat wire sculpture caught my eye. Elizabeth Berrien was one of the biggest and leading people in the wire sculpture movement when it became big. Her sculptures can be found around the world in a lot of places like art galleries, museums and parks. " She was inspired by her tutor Kenneth Curran who, giving her a roll of wire said, ‘Here, kid, take this wire and mess with it,’ and this was a great lesson for her." (http://infomory.com/famous/famous-wire-sculpture-artists/). She also seems to put detail into her wire sculptures instead of making small and less detailed ones which I really like.  Derek Kinzett: So the difference between Derek and Elizabeth is that Elizabeth does animal sculptors and Derek does full body human sculptures which require a lot more wire and patience. The sculptures also are in poses and that means a lot of bending and yes there...
