Mister Skunk isn’t just a nickname. This Massachusetts artist is legally changing his name to Mister Skunk this month. Friends and family have already been calling him Skunk for years.

Organic artist Paul Schick allows nature to provide his art materials.
He works with twigs, branches, palm fronds and redwood weaves. And Paul was kind enough to let me showcase his work here. As you will see, Paul creates folding screens, columns, vessels and wall hangings of many different shapes, even zigzag.

According to Beth’s site –
The Junkture table is designed with sustainability in mind. All materials […]
The Campana brothers are masters of reuse. Visit this Metropolis article to see many more of their creations, like the famous Favela chair.
The chair above, known as the Banquete chair, is, of course, upholstered with stuffed animals. Being artists, I don’t think they’d reveal their chair-making secrets, but the very creative and daring can […]
Junk art can be the most beautiful of all.
