The post Artist Builds Extremely Detailed Miniature Replicas of Old Computers appeared first on https://everydaymonkey.com.
]]>Temese has a day job as a technical director at an animation studio. When he gets back home, he spends hours researching the old manuals and literature and looking at the photos of the vintage computers so he can recreate them in his miniatures.
Temese is so dedicated to his project because of his passion for early computing and fascination with the inner workings of old technology.
“The desire to create intricate and detail work, finding ways of making the most accurate miniature possible is what drives me,” he explains on his website.
His miniatures, ranging from 1:10 to 1:16 scale, are mostly made with polystyrene sheets and polymer clay. They are processed with sandpaper and coated with paint to receive a realistic look.
Because they are so detailed and intricate, Temese can take months to finish a single miniature. Some of his projects even took more than half a year to be completed.
Temese shares his works on social media and offers them for purchase to interested collectors and vintage technology enthusiasts. Check out more of them below.

]]>Born in Minsk, Belarus, Brodsky moved to the US in 1991 where she studied at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, before earning her MFA at the New York Academy of Art. Currently based in New York City, Brodsky admits she feels most comfortable painting small-scaled paintings.
“When I paint small I’m like a fish in water,” she exclaimed once in an interview with Whitehot Magazine. “I am much less comfortable painting on a larger scale, and very few of my large works hold up as well as the miniatures.”
Her most recent series, Secret Life of Trees, is dedicated entirely to trees, based on photographs, stories, and artifacts submitted by her friends and family. Brodsky’s painting technique relies on a combination of classical oil painting techniques—mostly 15th century Northern Renaissance methods and 17th-century Venetian techniques—with contemporary materials such as mylar and plexiglass.
But her process also relies on some creative intuition. “For me, color has always been intuitive,” says Brodsky. “When I was studying, the things I had trouble with had more to do with drawing, proportion, perspective, anatomy, architecture. I feel like I am still catching up and trying to master a lot of those things. But color has always come organically. I never think about what colors to mix, and how to achieve a certain effect, I just let the paint play together on my palette.”
In addition to being an artist and curating, Brodsky also teaches and runs an “Instagram for Artists” seminar where she teaches artists how to harness the power of the Instagram algorithm. Scroll down to see some of her work.

]]>For miniature creator Marina Paredes, the love for tiny interiors began when she was just a child, obsessed with Polly Pockets. “The first miniature I made was when I was around 10 years old,” she recalled in an interview with The Daily Mini. “I made it with toothpicks and it was a little house with small furniture. I remember that in order to open and close the door, I used a piece of cloth. I still keep it with much affection.”
Miniature wooden housesThese days, her work is mainly made of wood of various types, including soft wood like balsa and hard wood like linden. “I like to use it because it is a very versatile material,” she notes. For added interior details, Paredes relies on clay. The finished piece is then painted using acrylic paint. “I do not work with a specific scale,” she admits. “Most of the time I’m guided more by sizes that are appealing to me.”
Her inspiration for her work comes from many sources. “I am inspired by architecture (shapes, textures, techniques, materials), design, colorful objects (which inspire me to feel joy), symmetry, and the decoration (directly from which I ‘feed’ my creativity to create my miniatures),” she lists.
With an impressive following online, her admiration for all things small is clearly infectious. See for yourself!

]]>Slinkachu’s characters find themselves in many different situations. His work is often a comment on contemporary issues in our society. He has done commission work for the Natural History Museum recently. “My work has always reflected the sense of isolation and loneliness that a big city can imbue, but the isolation of being inside is new to me,” the artist told Colossal after he had to take his work inside due to the pandemic. He now recreates city streets and their elements in his living room.
See some of his work below and find more on Instagram. Definitely follow him there if you’d like to see more.

“When I was 7 years old, my dad built me a dollhouse,” she shared with The Daily Mini, “and what I remember most about it was playing with the interior design, rather than any make-believe!”. Little did she know that her early passion would evolve into successful careers in interior design and fashion, only to come back, 20 years later to the very begining.
She now shares her passion for all things miniature through her buzzing Instagram page (with 60k followers to date). Those include anything from tiny wine bottles to whole bookshelves. “Working in 1:12 scale is an exciting challenge,” admits Strzinek. It also makes for a playful Instagram account! Take a peek:

Сделан на заказ. При доме. Hamster Zhorik Derevschikova lives in Khabarovsk, Russia, and she’s been creating these cute animals since 2015. She’s made over a hundred of little ducks, foxes, hedgehogs, chipmunks, bears, and many other creatures.
She works using a felted wool technique that helps her create puffy and soft creatures which makes them artistic and realistic at the same time. Each of the animals requires at least 20 hours of work. We’re really impressed by her work and we invite you to check it out below. If you like it, you can follow her on Instagram for more.

These extremely detailed pieces are a result of passion and hard work. “When creating my miniature pieces, the process can take from one month to almost two years to create a single piece,” the artist told Bored Panda.
He starts with detailed research on the time period he’s trying to recreate before diving into the work. He’s collected numerous home plans over the years in an attempt to make his miniatures historically accurate. Scroll down to see his work and follow him on Instagram for more.

As she creates her sculptures, Elson uses recycled materials such as pieces of wood, rusted nails, bottle caps, etc. “The great thing about driftwood is that each piece is very different,” she told Studio Wallop in an interview. “I tend to let the materials lead me, rather than having an idea in my head and trying to find a piece to fit my idea… I let the materials do the work really.” Though this sounds pretty modest, we’re sure that her talent and hard work have a big role in the creation of her art.
Check out her wonderful work below and let it transport you to an abandoned beach where the only thing you can hear is the sound of the waves.
