Javier Pérez, an artist from Ecuador, has a consistent approach to his playful illustrations of everyday objects and people: he mixes the real and the imaginary and photographs the results. His most recent body of work uses <a href="https://cintascotch.com/cardboard-experiments">corrugated cardboard</a>. As he draws people and animals, Pérez peels the top layer of the cardboard to add visual textures to his images. To add to the whimsy, he animates the process with stop-motion and puts the results online.You can follow Pérez’s work on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/cintascotch/">Instagram</a>, which is probably the best way to view the animated effects. I’m especially taken with his pet drawings.-via <a href="https://www.thisiscolossal.com/2022/03/javier-perez-cardboard-illustration/">Colossal</a>#JavierPerez #carboard #illustrations
