cardboard art

more cardboard please. this coming gallery night (fri. may 6th) at ithacamade i will be featuring recycled cardboard characters. the image shown is a newscaster. wouldn't it be great to own your own newscaster, something very charming about cut-out cardboard. just got a great idea to make him lifesize and have him bend and sitting at the breakfast table. stay tuned.....more characters to come.

real

this photo was sent to me by shannon, the new owner of the cardboard man flying above her bed. originally the cardboard man was just a window display, now he has a new life as "ART" !  below is a photo of him in his former life.  i feel like the cardboard man is now "real", like in the velveteen man (rabbit). funny how art can make you feel real, present and transformed.
