“Graphic designer Leo Rosa Borges, an award-winning artist working out of Dubai, generated this unique solution to an issue often encountered by the creative classes. The blank canvas. These posters — created on a close to zero budget — are generated by cutting an ‘image’ into a blank white surface, demonstrating the ability to generate design with minimal addition or subtraction to a medium. All Borges’ designs requires are a few carefully placed cuts, that with a stretching of the canvas, come to life in the third dimension as a monstrous face.”

“The film documents “a determined group of theoretical scientists and fine artists who have abandoned their careers and scoffed at their graduate degrees to forge new lives as modern-day paper folders.”

The second episode of Alexander Gwynne’s paper toy show “Hot Paper” is now online (above).  It sports a number of improvements over the first episode (which you can see after the jump) including being fully animated!  This episode Alexander picks his top 10 paper toy monsters.  No cubees on the list but no one list is perfect.

A limited edition pack of prints by the artist Jean Jullien.

I have mentioned this artist before on the Cubeelog and Yuken Teruya continues to impress with his newest set of work “Notice-Trees”.

“In the Notice-Forest series, Teruya cuts one side of a paper bag in a tree shape. The cut-out tree is folded down so that it appears to be part of a diorama to onlookers who look inside the bag. According to Teruya, the diorama is meant to look like a real tree positioned against the shadows of other trees in a forest.  In other words, Teruya reclaims paper bags back into what they once were–trees.”
