A friend of mine recently discovered British artist Su Blackwell's intricate book and paper art. Her delicate, sculptural pieces literally grow out of their source material (including fairy-tales and children's book), creating ethereal, slightly spooky scenes. Judging from her commissions, she has already been tapped by some savvy creative directors to provide magical worlds for editorial and commercials.
Blackwell has had recent exhibitions in the UK and Asia so here's hoping her work travels to the US soon.
