Tuesday Trio: balloons, piñatas, and robots

Jason Hackenwert makes more than your average balloon animals; his pieces remind me of giant sea creatures and/or microscopic organisms - you choose.  Watch Jason destroy one of his sculptures with a razor.
Yoo Young Wun transforms newspapers, advertisements,  and handbills into crazy distorted characters.  It appears that he uses some sort of special folding technique to produces the unique surface texture.
Gordon Bennett assembles these robots from found objects. Ranging in height from 14-25" these one-of-a-kind sculptures each take about a month to build and are definitely not toys.  Bennett's work is inspired by the industrial designers, Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy (a Loewy pencil sharpener prototype sold at auction for 100k).

Tuesday Trio: Parra, Jim Houser & Yumiko

Parra - a Dutch graphic designer, illustrator, artist, art director, and clothing company owner - he's got a unique style (and twisted humor) that I enjoy. Check out this collabo with Nike and his Rockwell clothing company.
Jim Houser - interesting pieces with a nice, folk art style - go on a tour of his studio
Yumiko
- online, her work looks computer generated - it's not.  I've seen a few of her shows (at the Shooting Gallery in SF and Roq La Rue here in Seattle) and her precise illustrative painting technique is quite impressive.
