Papercuts

Ever since coming across some Polish papercuts during my time at the University of Kansas Anthropology Museum, I've been enamored with the art of papercutting.  The intricate designs and graphic quality of the images can be just amazing.  I recently came across a lovely reuse of Polish papercuts by Milton Glaser in the AIGA design archives.  Very cool.

I also just learned of Boston based Joe Bagley who is an archaeologist by day and papercut artist by night.  I feel like we have a lot in common!  His beautiful work is featured in the photos here, and you can see more in his Etsy shop!
