Incredible Portraits from Thousands of Paper Dots
From thousands upon thousands of hole punched paper dots from magazine articles that are painstakingly collaged together with a set of tweezers and an incredible amount of patience, Nikki Douthwaite creates these astoundingly detailed portraits.
Butterfly Sculptures Made From Recycled Paper
Rebecca J Coles is a paper artist based in the United Kingdom who creates three-dimensional sculptures from a hand drawn and cut assemblage of colorful butterflies from recycled paper. In her use of recycled paper, she is able to dissect small bits of color, imagery and text to form these silhouettes that are later reconstructed and later encased. These sculptures can be composed of anywhere from hundreds or even thousands of butterflies!

Swarm: Pinned Skin Collage by David Adey
David Adey is a master of taking something from our every day lives, fashion magazines, and transforming them into these incredibly detailed works of art. With this particular piece entitled “Swarm”, there is a whirlwind of different tones of skin pulled and cut from the very pages of magazines and pinned to form a literal swarm as if nature itself is erupting from the depths. Also very appropriate, since spring has approached us in this very manner. One can only imagine the extensive amount of hours placed in how meticulous it is. Also be sure to check out his other immensely detailed works at www.davidadey.com.

Scalpel Works by Georgia Russell
“A play of solids and voids as well as content and proportions, the wispy creations explore the notion of an unseen network of energetic motions while illustrating the transient quality of a single moment.” — Designboom
Scottish-born, Paris based Georgia Russell is no amateur when it comes to manipulating photographs into rhythmic textural images by way of paper under the knife. Her pieces transport you to different times and evoke countless emotions that add to the narrative of each piece.

The Little Mermaid a Layered Paper Illustration by Brittney Lee
I had recently come across the talented Brittney Lee and her beautiful fantasy-like illustrations and then while going through her work was completely blown away by the fact that she creates some of her paintings in paper form as well and I must say the detailing in these pieces are absolutely incredible. So it is my pleasure to share this treasure with you.

CHAPTER I
ACT I – The First Meeting
Thomas Hillier during his studies at Bartlett School of Architecture created this refined architectural piece entitled “The Emperor’s Castle. It starts with a story built upon paper cuts and fine threads into these beautifully crafted collaged scenes of Toyko. Thomas’s architectural interests go beyond the built environment to include art, design, story telling and installations with a particular interest in how literature can be directly translated into urban and architectural space. The story continues to grow in every chapter.
