although they appear to be laser-cut these intricate paper maps are all pure hand-cut by american architect/artist karen o’leary

greed versus empathy
i’ve just completed and submitted my entry for the gdfb poster festival this year, on the theme of ‘greed and empathy’ and had some fun defacing international currency in the process… here’s a little sneak preview for now (expo in september) more news soon
beautiful friends
some very nice candid shots of ballet dancers behind the scenes, made with an eye for aesthetics by sebastien galtier, sebastien is in fact himself a dancer at the dutch national ballet, who is just starting to spend more time on what is essentially a hobby: photographing… which i think is a good idea, great stuff
magic
the shadow images above were already familiar to me from an anonymous google search a while back, but now i know who made them… japanese artist kumi yamashita
however there is much more classy work to be admired from this very talented artist, like these ‘rubbings’ made with old credit card embossed type (below)
not to mention these incredible portraits (above & below) made with steel tacks and thread… simply amazing
and finally these ‘warp and weft’ images created by stripping threads from pieces of denim material… check the website out for more of this outstanding portfolio
