Artist Jeff Soan Creates Cute Wooden Animal Sculptures with Articulated Torsos and Tails by

Sculptor and toy manufacturer Jeff Soan transforms old furniture, driftwood, industrial pallets, and other reclaimed wood into monsters of the land and sea. Employing a self-described technique referred to as”Wobbly Wood,” Soan generates articulation in his sculptures by scoring the timber into multiple sections together with their tails and torsos. This permits them to wiggle and gently move side-to-side as they are picked up or stroked. To be able to remove as much waste as possible, the artist considers future sculptures throughout the building of every otter, pangolin, or mollusk.

Soan studied design and art in Goldsmiths College in London in the 1960s and followed up his art instruction with a class in toy manufacturing in the London College of Furniture. You may see a lot of his sculptures and illustrations of “Wobbly Wood” works on his website and Instagram.

High-Detailed Illustrations portray Abstract Monochrome Dreamscapes by Clément Fourment

The fine level of detail and accuracy found in the work of French illustrator, Clément Fourment, is impressive.
After studying graphic design, Fourment spent two years creating giant Leporello, as large as five-meters long — each filled with detailed drawings in black and white — the accuracy of that would become a feature of his work.

Citing his fantasies as his principal source of inspiration, Fourment describes: “Like in a dream, we walk without really understanding where we are going. We’re directed by an instinctive and uncontrollable force.

“Time and distance are fuzzy. The chronology does not work as in reality; there is no temporal logic. Everybody will have to get lost in the picture to hang on into some reality.”

Each page of this Leporello has a narrative, which changes when seeing the project as a whole.

“The metamorphosis is a good word to define my work; I love to change style and medium to change the narration.” See more on Instagram.
