The creepy cat

This is really cool. Jeremy Mayer makes animal and human forms from dismantled typewriter parts!

I don't much care for the human figures since they are somewhat spooky and clinical-looking, especially in the faces and crotches. The symmetricality freaks me out! Interestingly, his female robotic creations are anatomically correct, but he draws the line at metal penises.

But the animals are something completely different. They look fantastic -- strange and cold, but at the same time elegant. His cats are about about 2 feet tall. I don't know about you, but I can hear this one hissing...
