Mayuko Fujino

Beautiful collage work by Mayuko Fujino, a paper cutout artist currently residing in Tokyo. All of her works are created with an X-Acto knife, paper of Washi (Japanese handmade paper), and magazine papers. Through years of experimentation, she has arrived at her current style that marries collage and paper cutouts. Her portfolio is amazing, and is a must see for papercraft artists and lovers.

Her solo exhibition entitled Arikui Abduction (images above are from the series) have just ended but original pieces can be purchased from Megumi Ogita Gallery. And she also has an Etsy shop!

Isol

Isol is a children’s book illustrator based in Buenos Aires, who has illustrated for several authors such as Jorge Luján, Graciela Montes and Paul Auster.

She has quite a following, and no wonder – her deceptively simple illustrations say so much. Everything on her website is in Spanish, so if you’re not as linguistically challenged as I am, you can also peruse her blog which has a collection of posters that she illustrated. (of course, I can always count on Babelfish to help me out!)

{Thanks to Yael for the introduction into her work!}

Denise Gallagher

Loving the fun illustrations of Denise Gallagher. Her work has a predominantly muted palette of green, browns and grey; with a lot of textures and fine line work. What I love most is her ability to express the many facets of her characters through the rendering of their facial expression — now that’s a skill I’d kill for! Also worth a read: her About page with one of the loveliest bios I’ve ever read.

See her BigCartel shop for prints you can purchase!
