Work In Progress

Happy New Year! Cheers to 2012 - the Year of the Dragon, which is also the year I was born. I can already feel my luck changing and my artist block lifting. I have a few projects on my plate that I'm really excited to share but for now, here's a detail shot of something I started in 2011 and am currently working on. Can you tell who that is?

Papercraft 2: Design and Art with Paper

Check it out! I'm so excited to finally tell you that my pieces are published in Papercraft 2: Design and Art with Paper alongside some amazing artists! 

"With an unparalleled collection of new and groundbreaking projects, Papercraft 2 is an inspiring up-to-the-minute survey of current developments in contemporary design with paper. In addition to more outstanding 3D graphic design, illustration, complex spatial installations, objets d’art, and motion design, the book and free included bonus DVD present work from an even broader range of creative disciplines including scenography, fashion design, and advertising, which have discovered the versatility of this basic material in the last few years. Clearly advancing the handicraft used in earlier pieces, these are setting prevailing trends and inspiring the future evolution of work with paper to even greater creative heights."

{I have a thing for tiny things and for books, if you couldn't tell.}

This is something I made just for fun - a 'Write Your Own Fortune' book where you can pick and tear off your own fortunes! 

There's even some blank pages to write your own.

Greene & Sunset Lookbook

For this particular assignment, I traded my x-acto in for a brush and it was really fun! I made some loose ink drawings for Greene & Sunset's, a Brooklyn jewelry designer's Lookbook and I really like how they came out! Although, I'm curious to see what a cut paper backdrop would look like...

Society 6

I finally made my cut paper piece available as a print! Check it out here!

RISD Paracraft

I just found out that my 'Slashed' book is on the Paracraft post on RISD's English department website.
Thanks Susanne Lamb for the heads up!

 It's finally February and hopefully, the end of my bad luck. Here's to the future!
