PAPER CUTTING. Contemporary Artists. Timeless Craft. (The Book)

 

COMING SOON.

AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER AT AMAZON.

 

 

In this post I promised to let you know about the progress of the books that I was designing covers for. 

 

Today I am extremely excited to announce the birth of one of them titled:  PAPER CUTTING. Contemporary Artists. Timeless Craft. I'm extremely honored to be also in the content of this book, with a group of my favorite paper artists from all over the world.

Matthew Sporzynski.

This is a great inspiring book for anybody who loves paper. Or for people who want to enjoy a visual feast (lots of color photographs) by looking at the different approaches to paper by artists from all over the world. This is a book for the papercut artist of the feature as well. It will convince you of trying your hands into such a wonderful art form.

I wish that I had this book back when I was a total beginner and was desperate trying to find a special book with beautiful papercuts to get inspired. This is not a how-to book but it will give you a clear idea of what you can do with paper as a creative person. There is content for every kind of sensibility. Below I scanned a page that shows you the list of artists.

I want to thank Chronicle Books for making of this book a reality. Special thanks to visionary Laura Heyenga for all the hard work. Thanks a lot also to Rob Ryan for the beautiful preface (he's a real poet) and to Natalie Avella for the thoughtful and wonderful introduction.

 

Mia Pearlman.

Big thanks to each one of the artists that contributed to the book with their beautiful photographs. And a very big thank you to Brooke Johnson for the easy communication, attention to detail and hard work in the process of making sure that this book was a special one.
