Outlaws of the Wild West

July 11, 2011 // kristen // 1 replies

Okay, so 1canoe2’s Hail to the Chief letterpress print was pretty great, but their Outlaws of the Wild West print is great AND just for those of you who like the bad boys (and girls). The print features hand drawn likenesses of sixteen of the most famous outlaws of the wild west, and it’s educational, too. Before this, I had no idea that Belle Starr was an outlaw. I just thought that it was the name of a group who had a song on the Rain Main soundtrack. Yeah, I’m not exactly an expert on the Old West.

My heart skipped a beat or two when I spotted Bianca Chang’s brilliant paper sculpture over at Felt & Wire last week. Bianca, a Sydney, Australia-based designer and paper artist, combines her love of paper and typography to create amazing pieces of paper sculpture. And can you believe that she created her first three-dimensional paper piece just last September? Wow!

Above is a piece that Bianca created for a recent issue of O Magazine, and below is a stop-motion video that will give you a better idea of how her pieces are created. Head over to the Felt & Wire blog for many more details about Bianca’s work process and inspiration, and check out her portfolio at biancachang.com.
