Cool stuff TJ. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the link. There are some amazing pieces there. Some great designs and ingenious applications of paper. Many of the patterns are ridiculously intricate. Lots of crazy ideas. And a whole boatload of work. The book autopsies, for example, are clever and really well done. Anyone who has ever hollowed out a book for a hiding place knows it is a major pain to get clean, matching cuts of more than a couple of pages. Razor knives, X-acto blades, drills, and saws leave messy edges. I want to know how the guy cut the books. Ditto the fantastic patterns in the work of the other artists. If they were cut with a blade, there was a whole lot of patience and sharpening going on. Lasers?

These pieces also had me wondering about adhesives. I saw no telltales of glue in any of them, yet those whispy bits of paper had to be held together somehow.



And so on.

Cool.

very cool.

Thanks TJ...Incredible art..

My guess is that they used a CAD/CNC Laser Cutter for some of those ridiculously intricate pieces.

Still .. its very very cool. Thx, TJ!

super (I wish I had a better word)
