Hyper-Realistic Sculptures Invade My Mind
This represents modern man as a mindless zombie that doesn't speak out against the world's wrongs. (Nailed it!)
Sam Jinks is a sculptor. What does he sculpt? Well, usually, it’s either a surrealist’s moment of clarity or the vivid, intense corners of your nightmares. Jinks has a background in film and television effects, sculpting commercially for 11 years, but for the last 5 years he’s been working on his art full time. His silicon-based sculptures make for potent visuals, creating powerful thoughts about humanity in general. Well, for me, at least.
This represents modern man being reduced to nothing more than a coat on a coat rack (I'm wayyy off).
Austrailian Edge has an interview with Sam Jinks, discussing his artistic background and his current work. The link is NSFW due to some more pictures of Jinks’ sculptures that could be viewed as graphic or offensive, but if you feel as if today is the day to give your boss his/her come-uppance, then head on over to the link and leave the picture of the naked man with a fox’s head up on the screen. Then, call your boss in and say, “You see. This guy does incredible sculptures, while YOU play Spider Solitaire and scratch your crotch.” Then you should say, “I stirred one of my turds in your cup of coffee this morning. I used a glove to hold it while I did it, in case you were wondering.” Then shout, “And this one’s for Paul in the mail room!” before you swiftly kick the computer monitor’s screen in with your foot. Say it even if there is no Paul in the mail room. Say it even if your office doesn’t have a mail room. Then you should grab all of your things (make sure all of your stuff is packed neatly into a box before completing these actions) and run out of the office shouting “YOU ESS A!” You won’t get sued for any of this. Trust me.*
