This was done by me in 2006 during the holidays. And I thought it was pretty impressive already, given my limited creative juices and retarded psycho-motor skills.
I never knew paper cutting could look like this!

They look like paintings rather than paper cutting! And according to the interview, the artist rarely makes mistakes! Gosh, amazing. Simply awesome don’t you think so?
When I first looked at the art work, I have the impression that the artist is a male. Turns out that it’s a lady, and a pretty one at that. Amazing what one can do with just pieces of paper and a pen knife. I am really envious of people who are nimble with their hands. Especially those who can paint! My artistic DNA stops at drawing stick figures. Period.
During my internship, I travel to work on this bus which goes to the Japanese Secondary School. Many a times, I caught myself staring at the students’ uniform. They are just much better looking than those I worn in school.
See the difference. (images from Google…)
But of course, we have to tailor to the hot and humid weather that we have here and culture and all. Thus our school uniforms are much more straight forward. But I guess there is no harm in a little more design. Just imagine the uniform for Harry Potter’s! Hogwarts! Nice…
And while japanese school uniforms usually prompt ‘funny’ thoughts, this article actually explains the origins and such.
Just in case you are wondering, I am not Japan-xiao. Just so happen that Pingmag offers pretty interesting articles worth the read.
