Lou Taylor paper cuts

Last weekend at AT open house we had the pleasure of meeting Brighton illustrator, Lou Taylor and seeing her strikingly bright and insanely intricate paper cuts for the first time.

Lou uses only paper, a scalpel and a steel rule (no laser-cutting here!) to produce her pieces and regularly produces paper cut illustrations for magazines.

The toucans, flamingos and lipstick pieces (above) are all available as framed works at AT open house throughout May, along with a selection of her greeting cards.

And if paper cutting sounds like you thing?  It's lucky for you Lou also runs workshops at Super+Super on how to (safely) create your own paper cut illustrations (spaces are limited to 10 though, so hurry if you want to be on it).
