My name is Sky Burkson and I am a miniaturist and artist located in Richmond, VA working primarily in paper and inspired by pop culture.
My work is typically sparked by the digital landscapes of video games, where I can explore even the simplest, low-pixel environments and find new avenues in atmospheric story-telling.
I primarily use matboard, bristol paper, cardstock, copy paper and toilet paper blending intense papercraft and papier maché with traditional model-making techniques (brasswork, woodwork, plastic craft, etc.)
