The interwebs have been buzzing about Karen O’Leary’s papercut city maps, and with good reason. These maps are absolutely amazing! And she cuts them all by hand, which just blows my mind. The map of Paris, shown above, has truly made me look at those little fold up maps that you buy at the gas station in a completely new light. And the map of New York City, well, you can see in these detail shots just how spectacular it is:

In addition to Paris and New York City, Karen has also created a papercut map of London and amazing pen and paper prints of Paris. You can see all of the maps right here.
