I would LOVE to see an extended version, like a full documentary, I would pay to see it in a heartbeat...this cat is the 'real deal', super talented...
I am an artist too, mostly a painter--and I love cardboard as well, but you've taken this material to a BRILLIANT next level. Congrats Johnny. Plus, you seemingly have risen about your loss. I have subscribed eager to see what work you continue to produce. Making art is healing I have found thru my personal losses.
People like this, who take something bad like a loss and turn it into a positive, are real heroes and we should all learn from this. What an amazing person and his art is amazing. What a genius idea to use cardboard! Why the hell not..
Love this, what a talented artist. When I was younger and had little money for art supplies I would use cardboard, masking tape glue , paint and some jewels from broken costume jewelry to make crowns.
I love cardboard, almost as much as my cats love cardboard. It has a soft warmth and a gentle, soothing colour. Very underestimated as an art material.
Wow Johnny! this dude is for real! you can get raw materials anywhere with this . an artist like Vincent made his best pictures of a glass of water or his shoes , everybody loves the night cafe or the sunflowers but his best ones were humble.
You my friend are an inspiration to many ! I’m an artist and work in many mediums but you my friend have opened my eyes to a whole new world ! Thank you brother and God bless. Your light shines bright and like moths to a flame, you are an inspiration to all artists.
You prove what I've said for a few years now . There's no gold in the streets. Just paper aluminum and plastic. You turn card into gold . Bravo!! Please don't stop!!
artists are ones who make something from basically nothing, a blank canvas of any sort. and this gentleman has taken what is basically a throw away product and make wonderful art.
Brilliant. I'm blown away regularly by the creativity and inventiveness of my fellow humans. They are some of what is best about humanity. And that's important in the face of what the world looks like now. Artists bring hope. Beauty and hope.
This is such a lovely video, thanks for sharing it. He seems very shy and modest. His work is amazing. It must have taken him a lot of courage? to overcome his cancer and subsequent effects at such a young age. Well done to you both for bringing this story into the world.
What a truly amazing sculptor, making use of what others have discarded, redeeming the used, the throw away, into a new and unique creation. Beautifully made sculptures that in their new persona truly inspire. Thank you James Lake for your creativity, for what you bring to the world.
He came to my school during activities week in avout 2004 and he spent the week showing us his techniques. We made our own cardboard heads and it was great fun. He also loaned one of his works to the art room and I remember this giant head being in the classroom for ages. He was also a lecturer at the local college when I did art and design although he taught the next level of course to what I was doing. Really great guy and very talented. I think I'll save the next few cardboard boxes and see what I can come up with.
His work in incredible! I feel like using a better glue than hot glue may give his work better longevity and I think the unpainted pieces shown here are more sincere and will get him better attention as an artist.
Pure brilliance! To take such humble mediums and turn out such luscious art, it’s truly amazing. These busts and reliefs are like a hybrid of Louise Nevelson and Picasso. Wishing you continued health and many years of creating 🙏🎨🏋️♂️🏋️♂️🏋️♂️
Why is part of this video muted? Nice artistic work, by the way. Always refreshing to see something new. And this certainly fits that category. I'm a HUGE art fan, and in my 42 years, I've never seen anything like this!
That was absolutely incredible! Cardboard is truly a ubiquitous material that is not normally transformed into masterpieces as in this case. We also work with cardboard only as base material and or accents. Thank you for sharing and Kudos to the artist!!!
Yes, cardboard's great BUT glues can be VERY noxious/toxic & expensive! When we have to work in our homes we often can't close a door and have to breathe in the chemicals all the time; I've got some acrylic paints that have a TERRIBLE stink when wet (awful to work with: overpowering) and still a very strong & unpleasant odour even when dry, I'm sure the fumes must be harmful.
Simply by looking at the art any person knows right away that it is amazing, however to create such art takes an extraordinary person. Creativity is something that is continuously being frowned on with so many people opposed to anything and everything. It is wonderful so see someone use their creativity to construct beautiful art from such a simple material as cardboard.
Fantastic Johnny. Love the positive approach to life in general and in particular. We did this in art school here in New Zealand as well. Building faces in life drawing classes. So we had a model and were given a bunch of materials to work with to build something out of basically nothing... That was fun, but I had no great success at it. I like your approach. It makes sense... now that it is 10years after art school. LOL
RU. - Джон, Джон!!! Даже представить не могла, что из картона и бумаги можно сделать то, что Джеймс делает. Интересно то, как создаётся объем. Как много я не знаю интересного. Да эти работы как живые люди. Восторг и радость от видео.
This is inspiring! I do some sculptures and I challenge myself to do projects with waste materials such as newspapers paper bags and plastic I call it my "Frugal Art" .Lots of free material out there there is no need to spend a lot of money as long as you have the love and ideas ,things get created!
This guy is amazing and it took a while to convince him to let me film him. It was worth it though and the result was well-received.
I bet he’s thankful because now he probably gets a shit tonne of work
His art is amazing
Great stuff. Thanks for this.
Thank you Mr Morris, for showing the world a true artist I greatly admire his art creations.
👍
I would LOVE to see an extended version, like a full documentary, I would pay to see it in a heartbeat...this cat is the 'real deal', super talented...
We agree!

Thanks Rita - I appreciate your comments but have suffered no personal loss recently. Kind regards
it's James Lake who's the artist (the clue is in the video), ain't got a clue who this Johnny Morris is - thought he died years ago 😁
@@mojo90toob you gonna take credit for this guys work?? 🙄
I read that a true artist MUST make art and he/she will use whatever material they have available.
@Yongo Bazuk ANYTHING FOR TRUE ART
Very true
I am absolutely blown away by his work...🇿🇦
@AprilSmith Art...
...is an exPLOOOOOSSSIONNNnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@dakotagordon8756 ...only little bits remain...🤣
That was amazing! It’s great that he was able to turn a personal tragedy into something that can bring joy to himself and others!
James Lake you are an inspiration...
Johnny Morris you have also inspired...
Thanks so much chaps...
People like this, who take something bad like a loss and turn it into a positive, are real heroes and we should all learn from this. What an amazing person and his art is amazing. What a genius idea to use cardboard! Why the hell not..
My gosh this man is an absolute genius with this cardboard. It looks like polished wood that shows the grain. Should be in museums.
what a lovely gentleman...! "I kind of lost my leg to bone cancer...." So KIND! So resourceful!
Cardboard is a wonderful medium to create art Have used it for many years....James should make all of us humbled and greatly inspired.
He treating cardboard like clay; brilliant.
Love this, what a talented artist. When I was younger and had little money for art supplies I would use cardboard, masking tape glue , paint and some jewels from broken costume jewelry to make crowns.
As someone who also works with cardboard and loves the material, I have the utmost respect for James' work. Absolutely gorgeous and with such passion!
You in a warehouse too?
I love cardboard, almost as much as my cats love cardboard. It has a soft warmth and a gentle, soothing colour. Very underestimated as an art material.

Such incredibly talented people in the world. These are amazing!
You my friend are an inspiration to many ! I’m an artist and work in many mediums but you my friend have opened my eyes to a whole new world ! Thank you brother and God bless. Your light shines bright and like moths to a flame, you are an inspiration to all artists.
True inspiration I am so happy that you are here with us !!!
Love from Turkey.
Cardboard is a fantastic mold lay out for molds for beginners ❤❤❤❤🎉
You prove what I've said for a few years now . There's no gold in the streets. Just paper aluminum and plastic. You turn card into gold . Bravo!! Please don't stop!!
The spirit of an artist cannot rest. It finds expression in whatever it can see and acquire. The universe is its canvas.
Brilliant and unique artist
His work is wonderful and all his own work not like some artists that use assistants for large sculpture and installations
Holy shit, just found this, all his stuff is friggin amazing.
artists are ones who make something from basically nothing, a blank canvas of any sort. and this gentleman has taken what is basically a throw away product and make wonderful art.
Johnny Morris, you're an inspiration brother. Very nice pieces you have there mate, God bless
Pls visit my YT channel and leave comment do I can grow like you Johnny.. cheers
Brilliant. I'm blown away regularly by the creativity and inventiveness of my fellow humans. They are some of what is best about humanity. And that's important in the face of what the world looks like now. Artists bring hope. Beauty and hope.
Genius. It’s art with the soul of the artist exposed to us all. Fantastic!
Wonderful video about an artist who cannot be stopped by mere physical tragedy. I'm grateful you pursued him and his work. Well done!
What a talented artist, he should get more exposure
This is such a lovely video, thanks for sharing it. He seems very shy and modest. His work is amazing. It must have taken him a lot of courage? to overcome his cancer and subsequent effects at such a young age. Well done to you both for bringing this story into the world.
Beautiful and amazing. I kind of like the beginning stages as well as the finished work
Absolutely STUNNING work! Thank you for this.
What a truly amazing sculptor, making use of what others have discarded, redeeming the used, the throw away, into a new and unique creation.
Beautifully made sculptures that in their new persona truly inspire.

I could watch this guy for hours...that is so amazing.

Wow! "limited resources" didn't stop him. Such patience and perseverance. Thank you for sharing this. We would like to see more. 😁
Great suggestion!
Beautiful craftsmanship out of cardboard.. May God Bless Your hands first this beautiful work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

Is that Jesus on the cross, three times no less-why are you peddling your sadomasochistic *Sky Daddy* scam?
@@jimscanoe thahell? That’s weight lifters you bone head
Cardboard is my favorite medium to work with. It takes to paint and is limitless in its creative potential.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful work
Great art with the challenges you faced sir. You are inspirations to others. Blessed with positive energy.

This man is inspirational and extremely creative. Thanks for sharing the video
For this quality I'm surprised you haven't got more subs
Hi mate
@Tøddy. what do you use for your intros
When you think you've seen every artist medium.....Very creative sculptures. Each one, like human beings; unique in features...
That was absolutely incredible! Cardboard is truly a ubiquitous material that is not normally transformed into masterpieces as in this case. We also work with cardboard only as base material and or accents. Thank you for sharing and Kudos to the artist!!!

not only does he use a different substance than the norm, but he does it extremely well .
I love working with cardboard! it's so plentiful and FREE and malleable, it's great! this guy's work blows mine away though! love it ♡

i prefer the state of the pieces somewhere between concept and completion
I agree, being able to see the inner support structure is fascinating.
