i’m jealous of david adey



Oh my word. These intricate paper collages are  the work of California based artist David Adey. He uses fashion magazines, and found google images as the starting point for his work… and then laser cuts, and craft-punches them into zillions of tiny fragments. He then meticulously pins each bit onto foam board, creating stunningly beautiful, and insanely elaborate mandalas. I’m pretty sure I’ll never look at a lipstick ad the same way again. Sigh. Gorgeous.

    WOW! This boggles my mind. This is some impressively time consuming work… Incredible! Wow…

    My mind is officially blown. I love it. I’ve been meaning to send you a link to Amanda Bradway’s work. She’s been doing amazing stuff with paper and bones – the symmetry (and endurance) in her work reminds me of this.
