These Multifaceted Beetles,

are made through a process of digital sculpting,

and lacquer painting, 

 the works are a continuation of an ongoing series where Nozomi explores the backs of beetles as a backdrop for her digital work,

  Nozomi is selling a few of the pieces on Etsy and you can follow her on Instagram,

 and no I am not on commission! 

 I just thought they looked so neat,

and keeping to a beetle theme, while walking through the Cleveland Museum of Natural History about a year ago, Redditor muppaphone spotted a toy VW Bug hidden amongst a collection of taxidermied beetles, it is nice to know that some academics have a sense of humour!
