Ursulus Victuspedis II by Stephanie Metz
Felted wool - 6.5″ x 7″ x 5.25″

Stephanie create a variety of anotomical studies of Teddy Bears, reverse engineering found bears to created these felted skulls.

The teddy bear is an idea: a docile, cute, friendly invention far removed from the wild animal that inspired it. I create teddy bear anatomical specimens with a pretense of realness to emphasize the artifice of a familiar but unconsidered subject.

Make sure you checkout her site for more of these wonderful sculptures.  If you enjoy these you will also enjoy the Animatus H, D, L.

Optimism in learning how to fly - by Miki Sato

Monday, April 13th, 2009

I read about a great artist on drawn.ca over the weekend and had to include a feature here.  Miki Sato creates textures rich images with

many found surfaces and textiles creating a uniquely three dimensional and tactile piece.

The work feels influenced by Sato’s sense of illustration and has a wonderful organic feel.  Checkout the site for more great work.
