My 3rd favorite artist is Robert Lazzarini, who makes real-life replicas of objects, as if they have been distorted by a fun-house mirror (or it's more modern equivalent, photoshop).
Unfortunately, his work translates very poorly to print - it needs to be seen to be believed. Everything from skulls, to phone booths, to guns, all built with authentic materials, inside and out.

I was fortunate enough to get a tour of his studio when I interviewed for a job early last year. He was getting ready to build a particularly large and complex piece, and needed a staff engineer.

For more details on his work, here's a 5-part interview on his vision and process.
