Artist Sagaki Keita was born in 1984 and lives and works in Tokyo. His densely composited pen and ink illustrations contain thousands of whimsical characters that are drawn almost completely improvised. I am dumbstruck looking at these and love the wacky juxtaposition of fine art and notebook doodles. See more of his work here, and be sure to click the images above for more detail. Thanks Sagaki for sharing your work with Colossal!

The Book Surgeon


Using knives, tweezers and surgical tools, Brian Dettmer carves one page at a time. Nothing inside the out-of-date encyclopedias, medical journals, illustration books, or dictionaries is relocated or implanted, only removed.

Dettmer manipulates the pages and spines to form the shape of his sculptures. He also folds, bends, rolls, and stacks multiple books to create completely original sculptural forms.

"My work is a collaboration with the existing material and its past creators and the completed pieces expose new relationships of the book’s internal elements exactly where they have been since their original conception," he says.

"The richness and depth of the book is universally respected yet often undiscovered as the monopoly of the form and relevance of the information fades over time. The book’s intended function has decreased and the form remains linear in a non-linear world. By altering physical forms of information and shifting preconceived functions, new and unexpected roles emerge."

Dettmer is originally from Chicago, where he studied at Columbia College. He currently lives and works in Atlanta, GA.

Unbelievable 3D Drawings (16 pieces) - My Modern Metropolis

 

These three-dimensional pencil drawings by Chilean artist Fredo are absolutely mind-blowing! The 17-year-old prodigy draws objects that look like they're about to jump off the page! In fact, by taking pictures of his art at just the right angle, it's hard to differentiate what's real and what's not.

Though there is no doubt that Fredo has been inspired by artists who have come before him, such as M.C. Escher, Fredo's art definitely has a modern twist. Some of his extremely detailed drawings even feature creepy goblins holding physical objects like a lighter or reaching out of the page for a soda can. To be able pull this off, this gifted teenager not only has a powerful imagination but an extreme amount of patience and a crazy amount of talent.

I caught up with Fredo to ask him a few questions about his work:

At what age did you start to draw?
I've drawn all my life, but the "climax" was in 2005. When i was 15, I started to ask myself things about life and space.

Who are some of the other artists you are inspired by?
I like Beksinski, Arcimboldo, Rembrandt, Alex Grey, and, of course M.C. Escher. He's a great source of inspiration. I'm also inspired by other types of artists such as musicians. Tool, Sigur Rós, and Explosions in the Sky are just some examples. To me, music is necessary.

How long does each piece take?
It depends. Sometimes 30 minutes, sometimes one month. Time is gold but the satisfaction of seeing a finished drawing is the most important.

Is there any advice you'd give to other artists?
Everything is possible with a pencil in your hands, the real world is smaller than the imaginary. And, of course, have fun and do it with love.

 

Thanks for the interview, Fredo! We're truly amazed by your talent.
