I am in awe of the painstaking detail involved with these teeny tiny sculptures made from used up pencils, created by Dalton Ghetti.

Sometimes my work can be painstaking (I’m talking to you, forest denizens and birch trees, with your gazillion little lines), but I’ve got nothing on Anastassia Elias. She creates teeny tiny itty bity sculptures inside of toilet paper rolls. Art out of trash, awesome! Admire some of her handiwork below:

See more of Anastassia’s creations on her Behance page.

I am not sure that I want to file this under “Artists I Like” but maybe under artists I find interesting. I don’t think I’d want to own a sculpture by Daniel Edwards but I like what he does. He’s provocative and let’s face it, provocative art is more exciting than pretty art. You may not know the name, but Daniel Edwards was the artist that caused stir a few years ago with his giant sculpture of Britney Spears giving birth.

His new piece is equally creepy and worthy of chatter, he’s captured the infamous octomom with her brood in an icky pepto shade of pink.

Alright, so no one wants to put a piece like this in their living room. This intersection of sculpture and pop culture has tongues wagging about an artist and his work every place from the snooty art scene to gossip rags.
