There’s life beyond pixels believe it or not. One man who’s creating mind-blowing art — without the use of a computer — is sculptor Adam Beane. These 9 to 11 inch figures look as though they will stir the moment you turn away. Beane works for toy manufacturers, sculpting figures from pop geek culture, but don’t discount the artistry of his work. These are not a child’s play things. Beane’s renderings of Princess Leia and Luke are today’s equivalent of the Greek sculptures of Zeus and Hera. See for yourself.
