Perspective Cartoon Sculptures by James Hopkins

James Hopkins is a British artist who has incorporated iconic cartoon characters into his artwork. The sense of illusion is captured in his displays. On one side of the sculpture, it looks like a collection of spare parts thrown together. On the other side, the visual art piece lines up and creates amazing character pieces. Among the pieces James Hopkins distorts, are characters from The Simpsons, South Park, and Disney.

Giant Cows Made From Car Parts

Helsinki-based sculptor Miina Äkkijyrkkä’s sculptures are immense. She purchases dozens of used vehicles from dealers around Finland and uses the colorful scraps to form these towering bovines that at times look coincidentally like an At At from Star Wars.

She not only attended art school, she also spent a year studying at the Dairy Farming School. Äkkijyrkkä’s artwork reflects her academic history, with an added dash of mechanic chic.

Solitaire Win Screen Sculpture

Artists Lars Marcus and Theos of Skrekkøgle have created the most epic 3D sculpture of a solitaire win screen. Made out of over 1,000 cut and glued pixel-art cards, the old Windows version of Solitaire spans nearly five feet across. Now they can feel like they’ve won at Solitaire any time they want, without ever having to boot up an old Windows box.

World's Smallest Origami by Anja Markiewicz

Origami, the Japanese art of folding paper, is impressive enough on its own, let alone when it’s done in miniature form. Yet that’s what German artist Anja Markiewicz does, creating amazingly tiny sculptures of things like animals and snowflakes out of paper. Many of her tiniest paper cranes measure only 4mm across (check out those fingerprints for a sense of scale).
