Frabjous

Windell H. Oskay over at Evil Mad Scientist created this cardboard replica of the sculpture Frabjous by George W. Hart. It never ceases to amaze me what you can make with paper (or cardboard in this case), creativity, and of coarse a little patience.

Chanel Headdresses

The Chanel Spring 2009 Haute Couture line continues to peak my interest after all of these months. At first I was blown away and inspired by the paper flower environments, then the fashion and now I'm back taking an extra close look at the paper headdresses. The really are gorgeous and oh so elegant. I would love to make a whole series of them.

Portland Paper City

Portland Paper City is an installation collaborative showcasing figurative and architectural representations of the City of Portland through the art of papercraft and paper sculpture. Spearheaded by myself and designers Jessie Bazata, Sean Garrison, and Rory Phillips, Portland Paper City aspires to unite emerging and established artists in the Portland area by inviting them to contribute a 3-dimensional element that represents their love of Portland. Later these elements will come together, piece by piece, constructing Portland Paper City.

We are so excited about this project! If you'd like to submit a papercraft, visit our website, download a template and get started. Download the people template and create your neighbor in Illustrator, or download the food card, craft it and paint right on the paper. This project is meant to bring the arts and our community together. The best part is that your work will be part of a bigger picture: Portland Paper City. Stay tuned for an exact date for this show, which will take place at Disjecta. Deadline for submission is Friday, November 5, 2010.
