Seward Johnson - 3D Artist

In light of our next project for which we'll create a 3D sculpture, building, or object using Google SketchUp, I decided to to search around for a famous 3D artist. The most interesting artist I came across was Seward Johnson. He created various 3D sculptures, many of which were inspired by famous paintings, photographs, etc. He created life-size, or much larger versions of images. One sculpture that caught me attention was his recreation of the photo called, V-J Day in Times Square, by Alfred Eisenstaedt. Johnson called his sculpture Unconditional Surrender. The images below show both works of art. The image on the left is the original photo and the image on the right is the sculpture by Johnson.
