Wow, seriously? A box this big to fit another box the size of the shipping label? What a waste of space.

Audi Q5 made out of cardboard

I really like this commercial from Audi for the Q5 not only because it’s neat that they end up with a cardboard Q5 at the end, but also because the song they used is a hit!

Cardboard sculptures by Chris Gilmour

November 15, 2008 @ 11:19 pm

Chris Gilmour is an English artist that makes wonderful pieces of art using nothing but glue and cardboard. His cardboard masterpieces are incredibly complicated looking as seen in the images above and below of several bicycles he produced. Even more amazing is that most of his work is life-sized.

In addition to these bicycles, he has also made cars, motorcycles (seen below), grandfather clocks, pianos, guitars, and various objects normally not made of cardboard. Check out his website to see it all.
