Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Jonathan Brand 'One Piece at a Time' Model is Crazy Car Art

— October 4, 2011 — Autos
Usually art pieces crafted purely from paper are limited to origami pieces, but the Jonathan Brand 'One Piece at a Time' creation decided to test his folding skills in producing a whole recyclable Mustang replica.

The Canadian artist with a passion for vintage vehicles set out to recreate a whole 1969 Ford Mustang, right down to the nuts and bolts, entirely out of paper -- a few hundred strategic notches and folds create detailing.

The Johnathan Brand 'One Piece at a Time' exhibit was named after the classic Johnny Cash hit referring to the dreams of a factory worker wishing to actually own one of the cars he is hired to make.

From headlights to hubcaps, every single car component is a miraculous piece of art in itself.
