Paper Cut Illustrations (UPDATE)

These Owen GIldersleeve Highlights the Power in Papercrafts

— June 28, 2011 — Marketing
The Owen Gildersleeve portfolio provides viewers with a view into the world of a trailblazing and extremely accomplished artist. The Owen Gildersleeve portfolio shows the originality and flexibility that have made Gildersleeve a favorite of some of the biggest advertising departments in the corporate world.

Gildersleeve took the art world by storm when he began designing and illustrating professionally when he graduated from the University of Brighton in 2008. His unique style usually features him using scissors or other instruments to cut out letters, pictures and designs, which he implements alongside more standard illustrations.

Gildersleeve's work has been featured in respected publications around the globe, including The New York Times, the Guardian, Wired, and Fast Company Magazine. His work was most recently exhibited at the Somerset House in London, England.

Implications - As the confluence of the art and corporate worlds continues, one effective way a corporation can create memorable advertising is by enlisting respected illustrators and graphic designers to create images for their marketing. By recruiting some of the art world's best, the company establishes credibility among art watchers and can trumpet their support for the local art community. They also stand a better chance of constructing original marketing that muddies the lines between advertising and artistic creations.
