    Absolutely fabulous, amazing, and brilliant. Those pieces of art didn't get enough camera time - I want more! The finesse is astounding - with cardboard no less. Who knew? One man can change a point of view and into beauty. Thank you for that. 🌹💖

    You guys did a whole 10 minute video on him and his cardboard sculptures but couldn’t even put the mans name in the title. Why couldn’t it have been “How James Lake uses cardboard to make lifelike sculptures”. Impressive video nonetheless

    Awesome!! Very inspirational talk! Liked the style of approach towards a sculpture with so much of consideration left for the viewers to fill in through the perforations and sense the ecstacy of the art. Usually, 3D sculptures are to be viewed 360 degree. Here you add another dimension to your art to make it 4D(if I may be allowed to). Thanks to you and your art!!
