And What Do You Do with Cardboard?

  • by

We have talked about cardboard animal creations before and we all probably keep a supply of boxes sitting around to reship things out, but the work Daniel Agdad does with cardboard is simply astounding. He calls it “sketching with cardboard” but that is insane considering his sketching is 3 dimensional amazingness. His new show “Sets for a Film I’ll Never Make” at Off the Kerb Gallery opens Oct. 26, showcases scenes perfectly as the title describes. Intricate landscapes, machines, and building look like they would be on any movie set. It is baffling what some people pull off with what I have in my store room or recycle bin.

Cardboard Animals Oh My!

  • by

A while ago I was at a friend’s place and saw this odd little cardboard deer on the wall that had me intrigued. I have seen all kinds of cardboard art, animals, and so on, but this had my attention. My friend wasn’t much help on where she got it, but thanks to google and the 10 minutes I had to spare, I now know that Cardboard Safari out of Charlottesville,Virginia is the culprit. Utilizing local business, recyclable, and non toxic material these sustainable creations go from nice faux wall mounts to the size of a small dog. You wont see the haunting taxidermy eyes in the deer wall mounts but an easily snapped together laser cut imitation of a majestic animal.Their catalog of goods isn’t only animals but rocket ships, wreaths, and more. Seriously, the skull is sweet and that rhino is awesome.
