The almighty Gilmour

Chris Gilmour is a most amazing cardboard sculptor.  His craftsmanship and realistic renditions
of everyday objects make you stop and question if it is in fact cardboard that he is working with.

8th Grade Student Work

These doors were created as a warm-up lesson on how to create different textures using

cardboard. 

Mark Langan, textured cardboard

Mark Langan's textured relief sculptures are amazing.  He goes beyond
using the corrugated sections of carboard and creates wonderful surfaces.
There is no need to paint his sculptures because the beauty of the textured
surfaces are so varied and interesting.

This creative house was first designed in Google's software

Sketch-up.  The students then used cardboard to build their

digital architecture designs.

Cardboard is a perfect material for artists.  It is versatile, accessible and the cost is low. There are so many creative things you can do with it.  I've always had my eye on Ana Serrano's work, Cartoonlandia, and if you want to check out her other work, go see her website and blog.
