David Mach - Amazing Scottish Artist
Today thanks to Rueben Miller’s blog I discovered the amazing sculptor David Mach. He made this Gorilla sculpture out of wire hangers.
It turns out that Mach makes collages as well as sculpture from a wide variety of everyday objects such as match heads, playing cards, and scrabble tiles. He has an amazing website where you can view some of his works in a 3d flash interface that will let you rotate and reposition them.
For more on Mach’s background, you can check his page on the wikipedia.

Japanese Robot toys rule - read Super #1 Robot
If you like toys or action figures, you must take a look at Super #1 Robot a wonderful book of photos looking at Japanese robot toys from 1972 to 1982. The toys themselves are amazing, ranging from your typical Voltron type gundams to wonderfully whimsical robos such as the Robo X series by Takara. No matter how fond your memories might be of Gobots or transformers, the bots in this book will blow them away. The photographs themselves are superb, showing each toy is deep detail and in an amazingly majestic light. If you are looking for the hippest pocket sized coffee table book imaginable, give this one a look.
On a design note, interior designers should be looking at these things to complement modern looks, and video game designers should be using these for the look of modern Video Games.
