A Penchant for Paper: The Work of Lobulo

April 26, 2016 //

Initially drawn in by typographic papercraft, we quickly realized the portfolio of Lobulo was a treasure trove if dynamic designs. Splitting time between London and Barcelona, Lobulo Design is actually just one man: Javier Rodríguez García. His penchant for working with paper has gained him much respect, and even a viral following online. The well-produced short videos he posts on social media give a nice behind-the-scenes glimpse at Lobule in action, feeding that central hunger for all-access documentation (see some below). The intricacy of Lobulo’s work is striking, and his sense of color and space outstanding. We especially appreciate work that is outside of our comfort zone, and this certainly falls into that category. Just awesome.

Luxurious Paper Craft by Mauro Seresini

April 8, 2016 //

Paper craft, using paper as the primary artistic medium for the creation of three-dimensional objects, is a highly specialized expression of one’s creativity. Though we don’t create this type of art ourselves, we certainly admire those who do (here and here and here). Milan-based artist Mauro Seresini is no exception. With little more than X-Acto knives and stockpiles of Bristol board, Seresini’s work ranges from editorial to advertising to commissions to large and small scale installations, and has attracted such luxury brands as Valentino, Tod’s and Lavazza. There is a certain unmistakable elegance to Seresini’s work, which clearly drew these clients to him. And the fact that Seresini is self-taught only heightens our affinity for his work. A true artist, through and through.

Carved Complexities

August 28, 2012 //

Brooklyn-based paper-cut artist Kevin Stanton’s intricate X-ACTO work is really something. As a recent grad of Pratt Institute and freelance illustrator, Stanton has managed to build an impressive body of work already. From random “sketches”, to portrait work, to exquisite paper-cut illustrations published as the centerpiece of Shakespeare volumes sold by Barnes and Noble, Stanton is certainly carving his place in the world of illustration. Looking forward to more of his work in the future.
