Paper Scissors Rock

My So-Called Creative Life

Day 4 of @joannehawker founded #meetthemakerweek There are 6 designs in the rainbow unicorn sticker collection. Despite my daughter loving all the seemingly girly things (certainly not from me 😆), she also aspires to be a ‘Toy Scientist Restaurant Owner’ and so the unicorns needed to be more than just pretty rainbow fluff so they are also a Scientist (Professor Pink), a Chef (Cheffy), a ballerina (Dancer) and a sportswoman (Goldy). Like a unicorn version of the Spice Girls 💜 #rainbowunicorns #unicorns #papercut #paperart #illustration #spicegirls #girlpower #art #design #productdesign #sticker #aspiretobe #daretobedifferent https://www.instagram.com/p/BqxK99_HcUq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2q9fxnf5tu1j

Day 2 of #meetthemakerweek (better late than never!) I was inspired to make the first papercut unicorn by my daughter for her 6th birthday party invitation. She’s a big fan of a rainbow unicorn and has lots of ideas of what she wants to be when she grows up - so in the sticker pack there’s a unicorn scientist among other designs you’ll see soon :) #papercut #meetthemaker #illustration #rainbowunicorn #unicorn #stickers #paperart #productdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/Bqt26VFHaxU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1akxq7m0ykx1

These cutesy creations are inspired by my daughter who LOVES a rainbow unicorn. I now have them in sticker form so had better keep them away from said 6 yr old!! #papercut #unicorn #rainbow #stickers #paperart #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BqN5FdrngNb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ul5qt1a6iz41

‘I’m looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee – decent scrap with the fiendish Red Baron – bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines – capture, torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.’ #blackaddergoesforth #lestweforget #papercut #remembrance #newashgreenartscommumity #quote #ww1 #art #paperart https://www.instagram.com/p/BqDj7SHnJwC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z5tc16duaelz

OCUTOBER PAPERCUTTING CHALLENGE DAY 24 Weird Pop Culture I wouldn’t say this is necessarily weird. It’s one of the pieces I completed for the forthcoming TILED exhibition. It’s inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. #papercut #ocutober @ocutober @drawloween @neilhimself #londonbelow #papercutting #silhouette #londonunderground #art #TILED #london #design #illustration https://www.instagram.com/p/BpTookQA5IQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nw2u5uprozdc

OCUTOBER PAPERCUTTING CHALLENGE Day 22 Greek Myth I left this one until I got to Crete so actual Greek inspiration could hit me but I’m having far too much other fun so here’s a quick sketch of a PacMan take on Theseus and the Minotaur.
