Freya Jobbins - amazing toy sculptures - Chicquer Arts - blonde

Coolest Toy Sculptures

10/25/2012 by chicquero

Amazing toy sculptures by the Australian artist Freya Jobbins. Provocative, funny and disturbing at the same time, Jobbins has re-purposed old children’s dolls in an unusual way, by assembling them into three dimensional portraits known as ‘dollfaces’. Freya uses the toys in a way to create caricature-like facial features of a somewhat grotesque nature. An impressive sculptural work, an artistic exploration of the relationship between consumerism and the culture of recycling, certainly bringing your attention to the point with the absurdist humanoid forms. “My work explores […]

Ink riders

07/17/2012 by chicquero

“There’s a place where people can ride the ink,” says Alberto Seveso describing his latest project. A graphic designer and illustrator from Italy was already famous for his high-speed photographs of ink mixing with water, and this time he comes back with these little Lego guys (love Lego) surfing wicked waves of amazing rolling blue ink. Super cool, dude! Life is not a journey to the grave with intentions of arriving safely in a pretty well-preserved body, but rather to […]

Mini fantasy world

05/31/2012 by chicquero

Growing up between Detroit, Los Angeles, and New York, Laura Plansker got her start in photography as a child, taking pictures of dolls having tea parties and stuffed animals hanging from trees in her backyard. In conjunction with photography she has spent many years set decorating and constructing miniatures for both film and commercials. It is through this combination of fields that her work has developed into the detailed world of photo-dioramas. Her overwhelming desire to jump the boats at Disney Land […]

The Beatles Mania

05/22/2012 by chicquero

Since The Beatles don’t need introduction, I’m done with this paragraph (just joking!). Well, this is a very cool collection that I found in Abduzeedo and I couldn´t handle it. As a huge fan of the forever trendy genius Liverpool guys I had to post it. This collection is a mixed bag consisting of pictures, pop art, toys, album covers, pictures, concert tickets, etc… Even for the “non-fanatic” ones should be interesting. Hope you enjoy it! Life is what happens […]

Happy Meal going nuts!

Happy Meal A “Happy Meal” is a meal specifically marketed at children, sold at the fast-food chain McDonald’s since June 1979. A toy is typically included with the food, both of which are usually contained in a small box or paper bag with the McDonald’s logo. Frequently, the packaging and toy are part of a marketing tie-in to a popular film or toy-line.

Toy life or bugs story?

10/20/2011 by chicquero

Insect Toys Sang Won Sung, born in Seoul, Korea 1965. Lives and works in Sao Paulo – Brazil. Sung creates these amazingly awkward but awesome art toys. They have a very distinctive style, not completely weird, with a very cool edge. I love that he uses doll’s arms as insect legs, and many other alternative objects! Sang has done many exhibitions, and he is collecting a lot of cool awards, well done. Keep it up If all mankind were to disappear, the […]
