Carved Matchstick Sculptures

These tiny sculptures are all the size of a matchstick! 

A simple and original message from the Makati City Fire Station (above).  Great advertising from DDB.

 Don’t you just love the fact that he used a match head for Santa’s sack?

Paul Moschell’s Matchbox Personas

Most galleries always seem to want larger works but smaller, even tiny works like these matchbox paintings hold a special place in my heart. Imagine creating these miniature paintings, the brushstrokes must be the size of a pin! 

Paul has a fun little animated website with a Tim Burtonesque feel, chock full of his wonderful larger paintings as well. (HERE)
