Vicky Scott Paper Art Illustrator from United Kingdom
I created this nature inspired illustration for Liahona Magazine (a Bible magazine in the US). The brief was really nice and open, they just wanted a natural landscape within a silhouette of a lady. I decided to create landscape containing several different environments from tropical rainforest to frozen mountains. It feels like it could have a much broader appeal than just religious and feels very much like a mindfulness illustration.

Map illustration for Canal & River Trust, focusing on Sheffield canal
Map illustration for the Canal & River Trust and the Sheffield & Tinsley part of the canal. The map needed to include about 20 or so points of interest, plus icons for transport, street art and paths. Apart from that we also wanted to bring a bit of fun to the map and show all the different types of wildlife that you can possibly spot on your walk, some of the landmarks you might pass and lots of visitors enjoying the scenery.

More about paper art illustration

From pop-up scenery carefully constructed out of coloured paper through to eclectic montages made from old magazines and retro photography, paper art is a vibrant, tactile genre of illustration. Cut, folded, manipulated and glued, flat sheets of paper become gorgeous alternative worlds that look playful and meticulous, timeless yet ephemeral. Cutting and pasting is only the beginning, and this is more than mere model making. The expert paper artist crafts an atmosphere. Some of the finest work uses white paper on its own, with all the tonality in the images coming via shadows cast by the 3D construction. Sublime.
