Cris Wiegandt is one of our favorite up-and-coming artists. She constructed the incredible Paper Space Shuttle & Paper Darth Vader Mask, and now she has created a Showreel of all of her work:
A special sort of whimsy permeates through the collection. Of course, I am a bit partial to the space-related paper crafts, but I truly enjoy the whole lot.
And here’s a GIF of the Paper Space Shuttle I put together from the video. It would say it’s a graphic metaphor for her career in art. Enjoy!
The uber-talented Cris Wiegandt is at it again. She recently made this replica Darth Vader helmet out of paper for the Swedish fashion label, Monki. In case you didn’t catch it, we interviewed Cris back in January after stumbling across her amazing Paper Space Shuttle, and I think she created an equally successful project this time around. Her colors were picked perfectly, and I especially like the depiction of the whale. WELL DONE, Cris.
And she also made a short stop-motion video of the construction process featuring music from Wallenberg:
Be sure to head over to Cris’ Behance page and take a look at all that she’s been up to. I can’t wait to see what she produces next…
Check out the amazing work of Brazilian Artist, Cris Wiegandt. She hails from São Paulo, Brazil, but she has been living in Europe for the past 12 years (now based out of Berlin). She created this piece for the agency Ressourcenmangel GmbH for a business pitch, but unfortunately they didn’t win. Regardless of the business outcome, we are happy to have these lasting images of the meticulously crafted shuttle. buy sildenafil citrate tadalafil vardenafil online https://pavg.net/wp-content/languages/en/sildenafil-citrate-tadalafil-vardenafil.html no prescription
The gray background accents the soft palette quite nicely here. Something tells me Cris would have been very good at creating model cars/ships as a child…
I tracked down Cris through the interweb, and she was nice enough to answer a few questions about how she made it, and about her career as an artist.
How did you go about making the space shuttle? Was it modeled after a specific shuttle?
“[The company] sent me a picture of a space shuttle and the colors I should use. It was a picture found at google [space shuttle unknown]. I made the craft completely by hand. First I made some scribbles about how to build it together, the size of the parts and how to glue it. Then it was more or less just trying and putting everything together.”
What inspired you to enter the field of art?
“Definitly Michel Gondry and music, especially David Bowie, Björk and MPB (musica poplar brasileira).”
How did you choose to focus in animation and design?
