One of those art challenge things.

I finished the challenge! I completed the 365 papercuttings challenge. I was working on a 25 page project of topographic maps of Mount Mansfield but I’ve restarted it as a 56 page project.You can find me on instagram at _asteroide_b612_ where I'm also posting other pieces.

extremely funny to me that Kermit the Frog is the only main overlap character between Sesame Street and The Muppets. imagine your day job is hanging out in a community of lovely people that genuinely just want to help kids learn and care about everyone so so much and then your night job is the reason that you have to stay up to date on your rabies AND tetanus vaccine

508: Falling is also a form of flying and breaking is also a form of creation. 

My work for the @grishaversebigbang, I was paired up with the lovely @emjenenla who wrote “How to Save a Life” 

​ “Kaz was running fast and still working to get the rope situated across his chest when he reached the edge of the building. As he prepared to jump, he stepped on a sheet of ice, and his feet slid out from under him and he was falling. He got one glimpse of Beatle’s horrified face before he hit the ground with a sickening crunch.”

In celebration of my 500th papercutting, I’ve made a version of Da Vinci’s helicopter. 2019 is the 500th anniversary of Da Vinci’s death in Amboise France, which is about 50 minutes away from me. I’ve been to Clos Lucé, where there are models of his drawings that are big enough to play with and it was an excellent time.  Around the region there are celebrations of both Da Vinci and of the renaissance in general so I thought it fitting.  I’ve also got a version of the Vitruvian Man in the works.
