I follow this guy on Instagram and his stuff is great! I would love to be able to see them in person, but I'm not sure I could resist the urge to touch them. They just seem so touchable.

Oh man, his stuff is tremendous. So cleanly composed and constructed and then lit and photographed; it has that quality of geometric cleanliness that feels like it could easily be a graphical rendering instead of a physical object. One of those things where it makes me a little angry how good it is.

A little angry at how good it is: what an apt way to put it!
