Ok..so it's not that interesting, but the caption underneath said "Amazing Pencil Art" so I decided to investigate anyways. I ended up finding a REALLY amazing Artist named Dalton Ghetti. Ghetti is a 49 year old artist from Bridgeport. He's spent 25 years carving tiny sculptures out of the lead of used pencils using a razor blade, sewing needles, and a sculpting knife to create really amazing works of art that can take from a few months, to a few years to complete:
While I could never create any of these amazing works, Ghetti's work is really inspiring, and definately put me in a better mood. I think what I like most about his micro sculptures is that he never has sold them, he only gives them to friends as gifts. It's really great to see artists who aren't in it for the money and that he spends months or even years on sculptures just for the fun of seeing a smile on a friend's face.

ReplyDeleteI love these! I love discovering artists who are new to me that do such unique work, it really opens my mind to new ideas.
ReplyDeleteI love that guy who carves out of pencil lead. You should just start drawing random things that pop in your head Molly. Maybe that will get you out of your funk?
ReplyDeleteI think it is amazing how creative people are! It's crazy what materials they use to create to make art.
ReplyDeleteHe is so awesome!!!! I am amazed by the amount of detail he put into such a small scale. There was a guy who did something like it but he used dust particles and they all fit into the eye of a needle.
ReplyDeleteThats awesome! I once saw someone at argyle carve santa's face into a pencil and use it as a christmas tree ornament. We got to see her work on another one and she was staring to carve a bald eagles head into the pencil!!
