Huge amounts of time and incredible attention to [...]

Japanese artist Kenji Yanobe often incorporates wearable sculptures into his work. Particularly with the multiple photography series under the Atom Suit Project, he explores a post-apocalyptic world centering around a humanoid figure clad snugly in a protective suit and headgear, standing out against the backdrop of Earth’s muted ruins. The mood is contagiously melancholic.

English artist Tim Moore looks like a lumberjack and drinks beer on his patio. And this man’s man likes nothing more than a spot of embroidery.
