Spotted Online – Josh Finkle’s Wooden Toys
This page at Josh Finkle’s website shows four different wooden toys the artist constructed, each one an animal that is now extinct.
“Handcrafted wooden toys of recently extinct animals. I selected these four creatures for their beautiful shapes and patterns. Choosing an anthropomorphic approach, I designed them with simplified, humanistic shapes and statures. Once unfolded, the packaging becomes an information graphic about the animal inside. These toys are meant to incite wonder and interest in creatures that existed only a short while ago.”
Jump on over to Finkle’s website for several more photos of the toys, including some shots of the construction process. Fun stuff!
I recently came accross your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I dont know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
