May 9th, 2017: Paper Tiger

[xoxoxoBruce]

Patrick Cabral does extremely intricate cut paper sculptures, among other arts.
This shit just rocks my world, it's so intricate and gorgeous.



He posted on Instagram that he wanted to do something for charity to mark UN Wildlife Day.



A statement like that from class A artist is bound to be noticed so within days he was contacted by Acts of Kindness, one of
those volunteer organization who do so much good with their animal shelters on a shoestring. But when they buttonhole you,
are almost scary in their passion for/devotion to, the cause.



He’s done a series of fifteen big papercuts starting with the polar bear, adding buffalo, rhino, elephant, tiger, gorilla, etc.
The works are being auctioned off through Acts of Kindness of which 50% of the proceeds will go towards the World Wide Fund
(the real WWF, not the actors wrestling), in the Philippines.



You'd have to put these in a glass display because dusting would be impossible. If you have cats? Fugetaboutit.
