Patrick Gannon

Gannon does some fine paper cut illustrations, and his work is full of textures from the kinds of paper he uses. Lots of tissue paper/ origami, hand made with color changes and spots for nice visual flair. I also like ho sometimes his foreground will give way to the wood board/ caligraphy structure as background. Some really good stuff on his flickr account.

Colorfly Studioaka Jennifer DeDonato. Another following my cut-paper illustration fetish, Jennifer her cuts are sloppy and imperfect, but carry an emotion and sentiment that reaches out. She makes great use of painted paper to really bring out the textures of her objects. Lots of nice work. And I love that when she combines type, it is a sloppy old typewriter font.

Another fantastic paper-cut illustrator. Lots of mawing monsters and cute clouds, but the simplicity is nice and he uses a great sense of depth with his work. The Paper Cuts image was on the cover of CMYK a few months back, I actually picked that one up at the store because I thought it was amazing.
