Edgar Askelovic is a German-based artist who makes hyperrealistic sculptures of celebrities. One of his notable works is a Basquiat-themed sculpture for Rihanna's 30th birthday. The piece took five months to complete, even though it was a six-step process! He finishes the clay sculpture with silicone to give the sculpture a fleshy texture. He then details the sculpture to be as realistic and similar-looking to his subject as possible.

Shoutout to all the artists out there who pursued their dreams of being an artist full time even though plenty of people will say that art isn’t a sustainable career. Y’all make the world so beautiful
