Paper Tiger by Jeff Nishinaka

Yesterday I gave you guys an introduction to the ridiculously talented paper sculptor, Jeff Nishinaka, who was selected as part of the Fresh Perspectives project.  As you can see from the picture above, Jeff’s artwork is incredibly detailed, vivid, and almost life-like.  I spent a lot of time looking at Jeff’s portfolio, and am amazed by what he can do with paper, transforming it into works of art.  Yesterday we saw Jeff create to the Fresh Perspectives theme of “challenge”, and today we get a sneak peek at Jeff’s creation for the theme of “empower”.

For this piece, Jeff chose to create a dragon, which he says “is the most powerful animal of all animals.”  The behind the scenes video is dope because it gives you an idea of how he actually puts everything together and the process behind his pieces.  Hit the jump to see new video and check back tomorrow for more Fresh Perspectives artists.

Remember, you can also hit up the Fresh Perspectives custom site to see more exclusive content and the finished pieces.

We also want to hear from you.  What do you think of Jeff’s work? Do you have your own Fresh Perspective to share? Let us know.
