These Olivier Pauwels dolls are as strangely adorable as they are disturbing. Every eerie doll creation is cast in polyester and then is painted effectively. Afterwards, Olivier Pauwels adds recuperated materials and objects to their bodies to complete this cyber-puppet creation.
I’m not sure I’m ready to see infants handling weapons, wheelchairs and bionic body parts, but I can’t deny that each doll is beautifully and thoughtfully designed. Well, when Christmas time rolls around, I'll keep these dolls in consideration for the naughtier people on my list--since these dolls are so amazing, however, maybe my recipients will think that they were actually on my 'nice' list.
