Mark Jenkins

Mark Jenkins

 Mark Jenkins is an American artist. He uses the streets as places for his works. He has my sculptures that can be found in the streets of places like Montreal in Canada, Cologne in Germany, and Rome. They can be found in multiple poses my personal favorite one being in Besancon which is a city in France and a sculpture person is hung on a clothesline with no head.
One really cool idea he seemed to have was to make a sculpture person made of garbage and photograph it in front of  a garbage truck and person collecting trash off the streets.
Another cool idea is him putting bodies and necks against flat surfaces and heads coming out on the other side which I really like.
Below are 5 photos of tape sculptures which are pretty fun to make.

Chimeras!!

A chimera is a female, fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, goat's body, and serpent's tail (in Greek Mythology). However, the chimera we're talking about now is simply a hybrid. It is a mixture of two embryos mostly animals but human embryos are also a thing.  "Second,  chimeras  can arise when developing fraternal twins share a blood supply. This  happens  when the twins (who have different DNA) share a placenta and cells from their blood mix." The ways it's been depicted are the Greek Mythology monster. Below are photos of what a Chimera can be:

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: This next photo shows a shortened version of what happens in the program:
