Amazing Graphic Work
-
When I see amazing work like this I waver between two feelings: despair and challenge. Having done my best over the years I've come to realize that, try as I might, I am not an artist, thus losing the opportunity to realistically address challenge. I'm left with despair. But life's too short for that. So I accept a third alternative, resignation to continue to do the best I can, accept the things that I can't do, and admire and enjoy the work of those artists that can.

WOW!!!, Thanks Dave, I come from the old school, prior to digital style artwork, and really appreciated this.

Does this style have a name?

Hi folks.
While at incredible pieces of art and craftmanship, see this:
Chinese ivory gone berserk - The Boston Globe
Occasionally, as an art critic, you come across an object so marvelous it seems utterly berserk. When it happens, quite often you look around and realize that you are in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem. Case in point: this single ball of ivory carved into 15 concentric spheres.
BostonGlobe.com (www.bostonglobe.com)
I had the chance to see a few of these incredible sphere in an exposition held here in Montreal and I was simply baffled when I figured out how it was possible to create these. The article linked above explain it.
I also found a video on youtube showing that the innermosr spheres can revolve independently but the cameraman did not use a macro lens so the focus is poor at close range. See it here:
Just ideas.

Hoppefully now all these can be made in 3D Print!
Elephants say Thank you 3D Print!

The mammoths probably don't care, though. I think they're finished using their ivory.

Great artist! Another lost art saved.
