    This kind of stuff reminds me of Davinci and how he combined art and mathematics as well as engineering to make masterpieces. I may possibly watch his stuff all day long and just marvel at it. Not many artists are on this amount-very, very, very cool.

    Now this is what I should have done for a career! Incredible work and very inspiring!

  • Sidus666 says:

    This dude is an ARTIST. The way he looks at the world is not usual. He just stops, and sees every small detail, every wave on the water. Now reckon about how many of you people stop and reckon about how gorgeous the world is nowadays, chasing your careers and living in constant stress.
    Giant respect.

    How aweome I want one.. This is so inspiring and gorgeous. He surely is one talanted man. I plotting how clean it would be to make one of those. Then I saw all the measurments he had to map up for one sculpture. I plotting woah that man has to be a genius to be able to make those. With my poor math skills there is no way I would be able to do something like that.
