I always enjoy a good GIF, and so of course I’m loving Allison Kerek’s work! She’s a Kansas City-based illustrator (my hometown!) who studied interactive design in Philadelphia. Her fun animations feature skulls morphing into Ben Franklin, flashing NIKE dunks, and…

Vera van Wolferen calls herself a “cardboardcraftswoman,” because she creates intricate and meticulously-constructed scenes out of cardboard. They’re incredible! Using the white/gray variety, she adds a few other materials that result in dream-like scenes. I love how the shutters, weather…
