Creating unique art can be fulfilling for several reasons. For one, it allows an artist to express themselves in a way that is truly authentic and personal. The act of creating something that is special can be a form of self-expression and self-discovery.

Additionally, creating peculiar art can be fulfilling because it allows an artist to challenge themselves to think outside the box and push the boundaries of what is possible.

The Facebook group "Home for Peculiar Artists" is a vibrant community of people who share a passion for the unique and unusual. Here, members showcase their one-of-a-kind creations, ranging from sculptures made of found or recycled materials to digital art with a surreal twist.

The group is also a marketplace for these said creations, with many artists offering their pieces for sale. It's a great opportunity for art lovers to discover new and exciting artists and to own a piece of art that is truly unique.

Also, make sure to keep an eye out for an interview with Ricky Dampers who is the artist behind the artwork "Agape love" which was featured in the post!

Creators: Sue Beatrice and Andy Gertler
Medium: Recycled cardboard boxes, paper bags, wood and glue.
Like many of you, we accumulate tons of boxes from shipments of online purchases. The forms are all made from cut boxes and the surface is covered with torn bits of paper bags. This sculpture was created without making paper pulp. It's all just cut cardboard assembled using hot glue and Elmer's glue. It was built from the inside out starting with basic forms made from cardboard and layering on the musculature and then the fur.

Andy Gertler Report

Bored Panda reached out to Ricky Dampers, a self-taught wildlife artist, who shared his background and inspiration for his art during the interview. "I started drawing when I was 12 years old, at that time I used to draw cartoons, then as time went by I developed some love for wildlife and animals in general because I used to watch wildlife documentaries on the National Geographic channel," he said. "So I changed from being a cartoon artist to a wildlife artist thanks to the inspiration I got from watching wildlife documentaries.”

He went on to describe the process and techniques he uses to achieve such lifelike details in his artwork. "Speaking about the process and techniques, well, firstly, I outline my subjects using freehand, then, I shade using charcoal pencils and charcoal powder to create the 3-dimensional illusion. To create texture, I use a pencil eraser and white charcoal for highlights," he shared.

When it comes to choosing the subjects for his drawings, Ricky explained that he usually chooses something eye-catching. "I usually love drawing endangered animals as a way of appreciating them," he told Bored Panda.

One particularly challenging piece he worked on was a drawing of cuddling zebras. "The most challenging piece for me to draw was the cuddling zebras because it was my first time drawing something like that," he said. "However, I managed to draw them well and they got many likes compared to all my other artwork."

I created this stained glass art piece from a doodle my nephew did. I named it, “I’m So Happy I Could Puke.” I gifted it to my nephew when he bought his first home several years ago. I no longer do stained glass due to health reasons.

Ricky also discussed his plans for the future of his work, saying "I am planning to do some mixed-media wildlife art where I will be mixing charcoal and other mediums to create unique artworks!"

He also talked about how his art reflects the world and society around him, "My art reflects the world around me in the sense that I capture the beauty of wildlife with my pencils and then present it to the world. Some people don't have the access to visit game parks but through my artworks, I hope they will be able to appreciate the beauty of wildlife and animals," he said.

This would make a really cool series of bird houses. Each one could be a ruin of a famous building or palace, maybe Disney ones if you’re a fan, or the homeowner’s own house reimagined as ruins. Really interesting concept, love this :)

In particular, Ricky discussed a piece from his portfolio titled "Agape love" (the 1st submission in this article), which is a drawing of three cuddling zebras. "I drew a piece of the 3 cuddling zebras, I titled it 'Agape love' given its composition as it represents family love. Family plays a great role in our daily lives, as we are blessed with things such as physical care, socialization, and of course, emotional support. To be honest, I was inspired by my emotions and society in general when making the drawing." he explained.

They are a perfect festival accessory or wedding photo prop. Although I like to take one just to walk the dog.

Original design, over 400 pieces, 5/32" lead came, 35.5" x 27". Took about 8 months from starting the concept drawing to delivery. This was my first time working with lead, first installation piece, and first time making anything anywhere near this big!
