Jeff Nishinaka

Jeff Nishinaka is an artist from Los Angeles who has produced work for some big name companies in the 28 years of his work. He uses a differnt techniques than anything I've previously looked at for producing 3D paper craft.

This was the first piece of work I saw of his and I had to double take it to figure out if it was 3D work or not but it made me want to look more into his work. I think one thing which may have drawn me to this image isn't actually the technique but the fact you can relate to the work because who doesn't have a messy desk area? I would love it if I knew how his work was created because I'd have a go myself because I think you could create some really nice things with this, things to enjoy looking at.

This image again is something we can relate to with all the world's landmarks. I really like the depth that has been captured here and I think my favourite part would have to be the Eifel Tower, such a level of detail even though it is set back within the image.

Yet again a well known relatable image which I just had to include, I adore Nishinaka's work I think it is amazing .

This reminded me of Su Blackwell's scenes with layers upon layers creating depth and overall a magical image.

This final image of Jeff Nishinaka's work I am showing is through pure amazement at the amount of detail that is in it even at the very back of the image, how it is done I don't know but instead of attempting it myself I will sit in awe wishing I could do the same.
