Happy New Year!

It seems so odd that 2007 is coming to a close. We started Paper Cuts Studio just a few short months ago and already we’ve come so far. What started out as just a vehicle to share my grumpy notecards has really expanded into an even fuller arena to share my designs.
Now that we have [...]

We All Scream for Ice Cream!

Lately, I’m really getting into uber-cute, Japanese-style drawings. There’s something about those big-eyed, adorable Kawaii pictures that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. After spending so many years pretending to be too cool for this stuff, I am no longer embarassed to admit that I adore all things cute and cuddly.
Awesome Etsy [...]

Girl ‘Bot

Normally I don’t do much digital artwork since I’m so much more used to doing things the old-fashioned way. But I just got a cool new gadget called the Bamboo from Wacom.

Our very first journal featuring one of our digital creations! Of course, linocuts will always be dear to me, but sometimes nothing hits the spot like a cute pink rat:
He’s a cute little fella–and so much less upkeep than a real rat!
If you’d like to give Ferdinand a good home, buy him here at my [...]

Concentrate, Daniel-san!

So, I’ve been wanting to do an honest-to-God, registration-required, no-cheating two color process for awhile now. As you know, I do have a few multicolored prints (like this one and this one) but so far I haven’t tried anything requiring terribly careful registration.
Not sure why I thought about it, but late last night the inspiration [...]

MOO!

They’re finally here! I ordered my Moo cards a few weeks ago and was beginning to wonder whether or not they were worth the wait, but now that I have them in my hot little hands, I’m happy to report that they so are…

Ah, the colors. So bright, so contrast-y. And the cardstock–so wonderfully substantial.
