One thing I love about the Internet is that it's not only an incredible source for research and discoveries, it is also a great avenue for artists and small businesses to build their clientele and sales. I'm a big fan of Etsy, where so many talented people get to show off their handmade wonders. One of them is Joe Bagley, who makes paper cuts of everyday objects and scenarios. With his swivel Xacto knife, he hand cuts all his designs.
In this video, the self-taught paper cut artist, who is a trained archaelogist, talks about himself and his work.

And here, you can see him working on his most popular design, Couple Kissing on a Bike.

The Boston-based Bagley also does some super one-of-a-kind papercuts. Take a look at this.

This is NOT a print!
It is all cut by hand.
Look at the details.

Goodness. It took him 14 days to cut the Suffolk County Courthouse piece, which was designed so that the angle emphasises the height of the clock and structure. Impressive, no?
I also like these two other designs a lot.
