The Art of Paper

 I recently got Papercraft. Hands down for me one of the best paper books out there. After carefully looking at all my options. Quality and value for money Papercraft was a good investment.
Papercraft looks at design and art with paper but on a whole new level. Paper structures, clothing, art design. You name it it has  been made with paper.
Amazing artist feature through out the whole book.  Taylor Mckimens

works features left. He is an artist who does books, comics, zines, drawing and sculptures. The whole book is jammed pack with artists new approaches to paper. There is also a pretty fancy animated dvd to go along with it.

Along with Papercraft a whole series of books have recently been released looking at paper in a whole new way. It probably worth checking them all out and deciding for yourself....a few worth flipping through are Slash and Unfolded. All the books have equally amazing works in them. I'd probably buy all of them if i could.


 

The amazing paper sculptures from Peter Callesen

Hand to Hand admires the work of Denmark artist Peter Callesen. Callesen works with different objects and paper cuts to create framed work, installations and performance. He talks about the commonality of paper, a material that everyone can relate to.

Callesen’s artworks leave you asking how on earth did he create that out of paper! He discuses the magical task of transforming a sheet of white paper into a tragic, romantic and fairytale 3 dimensional realities.

If you have any interest in paper you should check out his website because there are countless dynamic pieces worth looking at and I can’t possible post everyone here.

But here is a few to get you interested.
