    This guy is amazing and it took a while to convince him to let me film him. It was worth it though and the result was well-received.

    I am an artist too, mostly a painter--and I love cardboard as well, but you've taken this material to a BRILLIANT next level. Congrats Johnny. Plus, you seemingly have risen about your loss. I have subscribed eager to see what work you continue to produce. Making art is healing I have found thru my personal losses.

    He came to my school during activities week in avout 2004 and he spent the week showing us his techniques. We made our own cardboard heads and it was great fun. He also loaned one of his works to the art room and I remember this giant head being in the classroom for ages. He was also a lecturer at the local college when I did art and design although he taught the next level of course to what I was doing. Really great guy and very talented. I think I'll save the next few cardboard boxes and see what I can come up with.

      @jennyhughes4474 3 роки тому

      Yes, cardboard's great BUT glues can be VERY noxious/toxic & expensive! When we have to work in our homes we often can't close a door and have to breathe in the chemicals all the time; I've got some acrylic paints that have a TERRIBLE stink when wet (awful to work with: overpowering) and still a very strong & unpleasant odour even when dry, I'm sure the fumes must be harmful.

    Fantastic Johnny. Love the positive approach to life in general and in particular. We did this in art school here in New Zealand as well. Building faces in life drawing classes. So we had a model and were given a bunch of materials to work with to build something out of basically nothing... That was fun, but I had no great success at it. I like your approach. It makes sense... now that it is 10years after art school. LOL
