" The work of Chris Gilmour [more pics here] provokes surprise and amazement beyond what could appear to be a mere process of reproduction."
You could say that again. He create life size realistic sculptures out of cardboard.

I always knew the box was more fun than the toy that came in it.

im an artist myself. most of my concentrations are done with cardboard and the stuff that gilmour did here is amazing, but what my question is is where did he score all of this cardboard?
Posted by:Thompson | October 19, 2007 at 10:37 AM
Bah, that's just a load of real stuff sprayed varying shades of brown!
Just kidding, that's some artful craftskills Chris has there. Dugg!
