Nice. Reminds me of Ron Mueck, who does similar kind of hyper realism, but also plays a lot with scale (like a giant baby or a tiny old man).

I found out the other day that the guy who played Ludo is Ron Mueck!

This reminded me of Ron Mueck's sculpture work.

Choggie... Why must he be a dirty old man? ...ANYWAY... the amazing thing about this sculpture is the scale and the detail check out this great flickr post with lots of photos of one of Mueck's recent installations.

I sifted this video of The Girl (Giant baby) after seeing the post on Neatorama. I have seen Mueck's work before and it's really something you need to do in person if you get the chance.

Ron Mueck lives in the house opposite mine - he's a really nice guy, and his house is full of his work!

I've been following this guy (not literally) for a while now - his sculptures are eerily realistic and beautiful. There's a few good links on <ahref="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ron_Mueck">Wiki and a few hundred photos on <ahref="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/ronmueck/">Flickr.

'Ron Mueck (born 1958) is an Australian hyperrealist sculptor working in Great Britain.

Mueck's early career was as a model maker and puppeteer for children's television and films, notably the film Labyrinth for which he also contributed the voice of Ludo.

Mueck moved on to establish his own company in London, making photo-realistic props and animatronics for the advertising industry. Although highly detailed, these props were usually designed to be photographed from one specific angle hiding the mess of construction seen from the other side. Mueck increasingly wanted to produce realistic sculptures which looked perfect from all angles.'
