I’m absolutely blown away as browsing the intricate paper work of Danish artist Peter Callesen. The series called ‘Papercut’ shows off an amazing attention to detail (and patience) with nothing but Acid-free A4 sized paper and glue. This piece is entitled ‘Distant Wish.’ Be sure to check out his whole portfolio, it’s very, very impressive.

this is just a dumbed-down paper version of the work of artist Bill Woodrow.
he mastered this stuff in the 70s and 80s on a much more interesting industrial scale.
here’s the REAL thing:
