Tin Can Forest a moniker for the collaborative work of Canadian artists Pat Shewchuk and Marek Colek. Together, they create sequential art, film, and books that are inspired by the forests of Canada, Slavic art, and occult folklore. When I first…
Vera van Wolferen calls herself a “cardboardcraftswoman,” because she creates intricate and meticulously-constructed scenes out of cardboard. They’re incredible! Using the white/gray variety, she adds a few other materials that result in dream-like scenes. I love how the shutters, weather…
