While my fractal art uses a computer to explore the fuzzy boundaries between a 2nd and 3rd dimension, Peter Callesen's art uses nothing more than standard paper--the very same sort you probably have sitting in your printer tray--and a little glue. From these humble beginnings come fantastic landscapes, like this waterfall:

Many of Callesen's works disguise hidden treasures like this. Check out his gallery site for many more wonderful examples of his delicate talent and attention to detail.

this is lovely...

and the water coming down from the drawing... is it also drawn??

otherwise,
the concept is fantastic.
