I’m jealous, although a bit leery, of someone who has managed to turn the fabrication of creepy, whimsical, steampunk cum Tim Burton creations into a career. So maybe I don’t want Stephane Halleux and his creatures in my house at night, but they’re crafted so well, I can’t pass them up. Make sure you look at some of the detail pictures to get an idea of the intricacy of these pieces.
It’s tough to tell just how big these Stephane’s sculptures are with nothing to compare them against. But based on the size of semi-recognizable parts (like briefcase latches), and the size of the machine stitching, I’d say they’re as large as two feet. The realization came as a bit of a shock to me; I always imagine these things as smaller. I remember being amazed when I saw production stills from the Nightmare Before Christmas and realized Jack Skellington was a foot and a half tall.
