oh i Adore her work. beautiful!
Not that it makes it any less beautiful because the typography & concept is lovely, but the cuts were made in Photoshop, no? Just to clarify…
This is sooo beautiful! Thanks for posting~
The papercut stuff seems remarkably similar to the work of Julene Harrison: http://madebyjulene.com/ both in terms of the general style and individual, finer details. Fingers crossed it is just a coincidence!

someone made a similar comment on twitter and i just wanted to leave my two cents.
there are a lot of artists working in this vein right now, several of which have become somewhat representative of this style, like rob ryan. but there are a handful artists who have been creating this type of work for some time, just without the same level of attention that rob and julene have gotten (several of which we’ve covered here before).
it’s definitely possible that some of these artists are inspired by each other, but it’s also possible that they just happen to work in the same medium with a somewhat similar look. i think there’s a pretty noticeable difference between the type of writing used here and the writing used in julene’s work (julene’s is a more blocky, wooden type and kate’s is a curvy, almost loopy feeling script) and things like that are important to note before suggesting someone might be copying/drawing from another person’s work.
