A friend forwarded me this top work knowing I would be impressed. The creator, Jen Stark, sculpts paper patterns of repetition inspired by illustrations found in a medical book. The multicolored works challenge infinity and echo patterns found in nature. All hand cut, the sense of time and patience it would take to complete a piece is truly quite remarkable.

I am just drooling over these vintage posters by Chicago based artist Alexander Doll. At first glance they are simply beautiful illustrations, however what makes them so fabulous is that they are actually personalized! What a fantastic way to commemorate your wedding day, a special celebration, love for a location, or a memorable vacation. Customizable by color, the artwork is available as a poster, Save the Date postcards, magnets, and thank you cards. They even have an online gift registry available. Come up with your own idea and the artist will create from scratch. The possibilities are endless and admirable. My only question is who I should gift it to first?!?

not adjectives to describe the next horror flick but rather treatments to paper in a new exhibit at MAD, Slash: Paper Under the Knife. A confirmation of the public’s re-found interest in paper as an art form, this show displays out-of-the-ordinary literary pieces, laser cut delicacies and the use of paper in film. On display through April 4, 2010, however starting today a special week-long preview invites you to catch six Slash artists in action as they install their paper works during regular museum hours. See Andreas Kocks, Celio Braga, Michael Velliquette, Tomas Rivas, and Mark Fox assemble their pieces in the Museum’s 4th and 5th floor galleries. Made possible by who other than Kate’s Paperie and also the Angelica Berrie Foundation.
