Skills with Cardboard

I came accross this artist by the name of Bartek Elsner whilst looking for pictures of carboard construction. If you Google his name you can find his site where he participates in many other projects, but for me his work with cardboard is by far his best stuff. He has created an entire blog of his cardboard work here.
