Clever Combinations of Illustrations and Wood Carvings Create Extraordinary Miniature Cities
Luke O'Sullivan uses a combination of drawings and sculptural carvings to construct wondrous urban landscapes.

The 3-D architectural carvings protrude into space, similar to a diorama display, but O'Sullivan purposively ensures that his miniature worlds are rooted partially in reality and partially in the absurd.
