dot matrixing

A screen matrix letterform, based on a type study by Petr van Blokland from the 70s.

Desk mess courtesy of my need to come up with concepts by the end of the weekend. 

And, of course, I experiment with its shadows…

Here’s the type study:

a weekend of pleats

An exciting project just started! A few shots from the weekend…

With three+ years in this apartment, my studio space just keeps getting cozier.

blog turns 2!

This little blog of mine is now 2 years old. More paper fun to come in the new year!

This 2 was cut out while glimpsing at Pompadour numerals. (go download this beaut here)

lanky notes

A round-up of music at &Friends had me making some lanky eighth notes.

triangulation, part two

More triangles, more experimentation, more fun.

Experimenting with photographing these is becoming just as fun as cutting them out. Part 1 lives here.

quick diorama

It’s been awhile since I’ve picked up the old #2 blade.

I’m relearning the work plus having-time-for-cut-paper combo. Got home at 10:00 and decided I’d see what I can finish in 25 minutes. Voilà: a rough cut of random things on my mind lately. Trying to keep in practice, even if I’m forsaking craft a wee bit.

Must learn better lighting for nighttime cut outs…
