I’ve been seeing a lot of paper creations lately, but this one tops them all. Juan Manuel Pedraza is definitely a "god in design," as Whitezine.com puts it. His crazy paper paradise takes crafts and crafty to whole new heavenly heights.
Bogota-based illustrator and craftsman Juan Manuel Pedraza seems like a child at heart. Not only does his oeuvre attest to it, he even models some of the characters after himself (for example, the Ten Commandment paper design). I wonder if he takes requests…I would love a character modeled after yours truly!
