Money Portraits by Senseteam

Big Business 3 is a book and poster series by Chinese creative agency Senseteam. Very reminiscent to embroidered patchwork, this series cuts apart and reconfigures currencies from countries around the world in the hopes of examining identity and cultural desires that link wealth, branding, human expressions and ethnicities.

The Paper Fox by Jeremy Kool

The Paper Fox is the working title of a children’s book for android and ipad tablets that Jeremy Kool is currently working on. Jeremy successfully crowdfunded his project through Pozible. The story is created by himself and written by his sister Amanda who is a published fiction author. All of the artwork in the book is done by Jeremy and it’s absolutely beautiful. Characters and the landscapes are created 100% digitally but made to look like paper craft and real origami. We love the style and can’t wait to see the book come to live. Continue reading

Loves Doves by Yulia Brodskaya

We saw the work of Yulia Brodskaya before with some of her earlier style of work like Christmas in Wonderland where she incorporates text as well as a scene. Now she is starting to explore a new style entirely where she makes a portrait completely from quilling like her earlier piece Babushka. This being her latest work entitled “Loves Doves” I can only expect them to become more disarming and more beautiful. To see more details of this piece you can view here.

Relief Paper Cuts by Laura Kasalo

Laura Kasalo is a Columbian industrial designer that has been experimenting with different paper techniques to make a geometrical and volumetric shapes which she calls “subtraction”. It is her first time experimenting with paper, but she will be pursing more in her brand entitled “kasalo”, where I think she has done a lovely job, which encompasses surface design.

New Tysons by Zim and Zou

Zim and Zou are by far one of my many favorite paper artists, stretching the boundaries of paper art to produce some remarkable creations. We have written posts about them several times in the past and they never cease to amaze us.
With this particular piece they tell a story surrounding Washington, DC suburbs, where four metro stations will open. The more familiar car driven area will now suddenly have public transit which will hopefully make it feel more like a city — adding more pedestrian walkways, apartments, grocery stores… making it more of a place that people will actually want to live than just work.
