Japanese Cardboard Artist Turns Old Amazon Boxes Into Tanks, Food And Other Incredible Sculptures
Somehow, everybody sees a cardboard box differently. Some people see it as a storage unit, some cats see it as a perfect home, and Japanese artist Monomi Ohno sees it as a building material for her amazing 3-D sculptures.
It all began during her studies at Osaka University of the Arts, where she decided to specialize in 3-D animation. Yet to get your hands on the necessary software, you'd have to pay a pretty penny first. So instead of spending all that money, she decided to use the stash of empty Amazon boxes laying around to hone her 3D modeling skills on.
What was supposed to be practice, has turned her into a cardboard artist! The empty boxes have become a canvas which she can now turn into literally anything. From tanks, rifles, and pop culture characters to even food! Take a look and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

The detail in these things... I didn't know cardboard was capable of being manipulated so precisely! Wow.

I'm speechless! I can only imagine the time required and the pain in her hands, to create just one of those sculptures. Astounding!!

First of all, we've seen this before. This is nothing new. Some people make things out of garbage, toilet tissue, paper, cardboard boxes, strips of wood or planks. She draws the plans, scales, then do the cut outs, then paste them together. If you're an artist yo can do the same exact thing. I saw a dad make toy cars and a bed for his son out of cardboard.
