Michael Velli­quette has cre­ated an aston­ish­ing paper world. It is bright, impres­sive in size, and extremely detailed. The metic­u­lous­ness in his work is unmatched of any­thing I’ve really seen. The way that Michael’s pieces hang on the wall remind me of masks and almost pieces of a totem pole. The amount of paper actu­ally cut ...

Anthony Zinonos is addicted to col­lect­ing paper. His work is a prod­uct of his col­lec­tion, incor­po­rat­ing print­mak­ing, col­lage, and photo imaging. Anthony’s work tends to be min­i­mal­ist, have a large fields of a lim­ited color palette, and one focal point in the image. Aside from this, Anthony has also made his work some­what absurd and ...

Robin Cameron has a vari­ety of draw­ings, shows, and zines/books under­neath her belt. Born in Canada, she now lives in New York City. I am a big fan of her draw­ings — she incor­po­rates graphite and ink, focus­ing on mark-making and move­ment. From her draw­ings, I’m reminded of stir­ring found in nature — wheat in a ...

Jayme’s shadow boxes are some­thing that you don’t see every­day, espe­cially in the world of illus­tra­tion. Her char­ac­ters are sweet and the work shows that there is a lot of ...

Hillery Rebeka Sproatt is an artist and print maker liv­ing in Bal­ti­more, Mary­land. While involved in many endeav­ors, she has a great draw­ing series enti­tled Every­thing In Between, which is a medi­a­tion about “float­ing within”. Hillery was sell­ing her work at a local art mar­ket dur­ing the past hol­i­day sea­son, so I got the oppor­tu­nity ...

Remem­ber when I wrote about the Paper­Craft book? That books gives some great inspi­ra­tion and con­stantly had me think­ing, I wish I had thought to use paper like that! Lau­ren Clay is an artist that is fea­tured in that book, and one whose work I am envi­ous of (in the best way possible!) Her work ...

Peter Craw­ley is two things that I seem to be focus­ing on a lot this week: an artist from across the pond and also one whom uses thread in his work. I really enjoy his work for its min­i­mal­ism; the stark con­trast between his lines and the paper on which they are stitched. I love that ...
