I’m super excited about this, which is the first of three in a the longer series of recycling objects into dioramas. I think I could perform eye surgery after making this. Heck, I probably need eye surgery. Here’s some WIPS from this one:
There’s always a bigger fish in the food chain. Oh, and the bicycle reference is for Illustration Friday.
AMAZING! What did you do with the cut out portions?
@diana: I think I ate them. It was a long night.
Jim, that’s incredible. I would need a microscope to be able to produce and cut around detail like that. Great job, really interesting composition too!
Thank you, Mr. Mengers.
Amazing.
Gorgeous work, Jim! Was that originally a sardine tin?
Thanks!
@Amanda – yep. Sardines!
That is beautiful! I love it. Fish are always my favourite thing to draw & look at. Perfect for Earth Day!
Very cool! I would never be able to get the can clean enough to use it artistically like that. ;p
Fabuloso! Your fish are favorites.
This is SO cool! Uber-cool! L-O-V-E them!
I´m about to start a little project involving fish-skin :-)
Wow, this is great!
Love the process shots too.
Very, very cool.
Awesome! That’s some control with such tiny, tiny pieces! I like the idea of putting fish art in a fish tin.
inspiring and beautiful!
WHAT. WHAT?!? That is amazing!
Jim!
That is pretty cool stuff you are doing!
whoa, that is so cool and i’m so glad you shared the WIP pics…that little fish is TINY!! these are just awesome.
I can do this, I draw really big and then put my shrinky dink in the oven.
Amazing stuff Jim
