Whilst researching paper art I came across the paper cuttings of Hans Christian Andersen who is better known for his fairy tales. One such papercut created by Andersen for charity in 1864 features a short poem at the centre, which reads;

This paper cut is somewhat dear,
Half a rigsdaler we’ll say,
But it’s really a whole fairy tale,
Your kind heart will have to pay.

This final papercut illustrates the entire Andersen tale and is cut from a single sheet of 90gsm paper. Size: 1782mm x 846mm [framed – 1930mm x 990mm].

The frame holds the final papercut between 2 panes of glass and was made by House of Frames Ltd, Swansea.

This project was featured in Creative Review's 2011 Illustration Annual (pictured below).

One piece of paper, but it’s really a whole fairytale.

I was asked by the founders of FAKE Magazine to contribute to their 4th issue by illustrating the poem 'Pigeons Are The Alcoholics Of The Bird World' by Paul Askew.

'What Makes Mike?' is the response to a brief to create an info-graphic about myself. The final illustration is A0.
