Wax Museum

As I hibernate from our "Polar Vortex", (we will look back at this anomaly in a year and choke on this term) I have rounded up a whole slate of items to share. This one is a case of art imitating life - on a very grand scale. The artists name is Ron Mueck and he began his career in films doing puppetry and special effects construction. More recently he has taken his creative gifts and made them into a stand-alone art form.

The featured pics do only a small justice, so please check out his complete web gallery. Not only are his human creatures detailed, he also plays with scope and perspective which will leave you mildly stunned. Here are side by side scalings of his work:
