Creature Project Artist Research: Mike Libby

Mike Libby is an innovative sculptor who takes dead critters and turns them
into steam-punkesque robot insects. Much like many a child’s past time of dissecting dead bugs to see what makes them tick under their armour. Mike Libby stumbled upon this idea when he found a dead beetle and decided to add selected gears from a wristwatch into the beetle itself. Now he has applied this to many insects using parts from antique wristwatches, type writers and other electrical parts and has now started the insect lab.
