With only two years of industry experience, hairdresser Alejandro Lopez (@artistic.aestheticss) is already making waves with his intricate designs, like these dreamcatcher braids. These days, the 20-year-old often uses wigs for his more detailed and complex creations. “It really lets me be as creative as I please without having to worry about time or having to stick with what someone else is wanting.

On today’s #WeeklyFluff, meet Squid (@squidthegriff), a “sweet-hearted” Brussels Griffon. “Originally, we named him Squid after his big googly eyes 👀 and his fur being as black as squid ink,” says his human Susanne. 🦑⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ “When Squid’s beard started to grow longer, it took on a tentacle-like appearance when wet. The name turned out to be even more of a perfect fit for him!”⁣⁣ ⁣ Photo by @squidthegriff

Patrick Cabral’s (@darkgravity) large, layered paper sculptures may be intricate, but his approach is deceptively simple.⁣ ⁣ “I just cut one hole after another,” says the Filipino artist, who uses his talent to raise awareness about endangered species, like this tiger, which took him about 200 hours to create.⁣ ⁣ “What I love about the work I do is that it’s also my form of meditation. Every time I do my work, I get into a Zen state. I have to be completely present, because I am using a sharp blade, and all I think of is cutting one hole at a time.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @darkgravity

Graphic designer and paper artist Jihee Lee (@edaeri11) adds materials like acrylic, felt and iron nuts and bolts into her lifelike models of everyday objects.⁣ ⁣ But all her creations — including this colorful meal — have one thing in common: their main ingredient is always paper.⁣ ⁣ “When I make food, I first imagine how the food is plated, then I decide which materials and colors work up an appetite,” she says of her intricate sculptures. “I make a sketch and then do a 3D modeling, just like I’d set up a table for dinner. I give my best effort to make the food look as delicious as possible.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @edaeri11

Look closely. This portrait by paper-quilling artist Yi Ye Wang (@pinkzhazha) took nearly three months to complete and is 100% constructed from rolled up paper. 🤯⁣ ⁣ “I use paper art to express the deep artistic mood of Chinese traditional ink painting, combined with modern western art techniques, to make my own unique style,” says the Paris-based Chinese artist, who also writes songs and plays bass.⁣ ⁣ “My friends are surprised that I can turn from being a crazy rock musician to a quiet artist who can work alone for long periods of time.” #ThisWeekOnInstagram⁣ ⁣ Photo by @pinkzhazha
