Filmmaker creates an amusing video starring a 3D-printed infant

Here's another awesome stop-motion animation from Eran Amir. The Israeli filmmaker 3D printed a series of tiny baby sculptures and use them to shoot amusing timelapse videos of a naked infant running in various locations and environments. We see the baby cross over a snow-covered landscape in Germany, the Dead Sea, bridges, alleys, beaches and even duck under Anish Kapoor's Cloud Gate in Chicago.

The process is very labor-intensive, as Amir must attach one of the figurines on a rig every time he moves the camera forward. But for this video, the result was well worth the effort. Check out these behind-the-scenes shots that show how it was done.

Enigmatic Shapes and Psychedelic Patterns

To say that I love Sanagi 's work is an understatement. Looking at her art feels sort of therapeutic, and I find her drawings refreshingly intricate. They're trippy, psychedelic, and resemble something that you might see under a microscope. Not much is Googleable about Sanagi, but that's fine. There aren't many artists these days that still pull off the whole mysterious vibe, so I commend her for that. By the way... they're all hand-drawn with pen and ink.

James DeRosso's ceramic monsters

I really like these whimsical ceramic creatures by James DeRosso. Yes, they have bulging eyes and toothy grins, but they're not scary at all. The Portland-based artist started making cute monsters while he was a student to jokingly create gargoyle-like guardians for the kiln. After other students kept taking his quirky little figures, he realized there was a market for them. "I'm enjoying the whole monster making niche," James says. "It's amazingly gratifying to be doing ceramics full time and especially to be a teacher introducing kids to the joy of clay." Be sure to visit his website and like his Facebook page for the latest monster news.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.
