# Silhouetted Cartoon Displays These Paper Cut Art Displays are Great for Video Game Fans By Ian Andrew Panganiban | Published 2013-06-23 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/paper-cut-art References: [xombiedirge](http://xombiedirge.com/post/53291022470/papercut-street-fighters-by-cutting-pixels-store) & [etsy](http://www.etsy.com/shop/CuttingPixels) These cut-outs by Katrina Mason are products that were brought about by undying love for video games and classic cartoons. Video games and cartoons can have a strong grip on people that often lead to all sorts of compulsive behaviors; it’s that passion that led Mason into creating these cut-outs. Mason's [paper cut-outs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti) showcase various characters from [video games and cartoon characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-x-sanrio) in simple black silhouettes. Each paper cut art display boasts a simple sleek design that many [video game and anime fans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/govee-pacman-gaming-pixel-light) will like. How cool would it be to have a Dhalsim silhouette or one of the Sailor Moon warriors in your room? The black and white color pairings from the paper cut art displays brings a certain je ne sais quoi to the video game and cartoon characters. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Paper Cut-out Art Displays:** Katrina Mason's paper cut-outs show a new way to display fan art. - **Video Game and Cartoon Silhouettes:** The simplistic designs of Mason's paper cut-outs represent a new trend in fan art. - **Black and White Color Pairings:** The use of black and white in the paper cut-outs represents a growing trend in minimalistic design. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art:** Mason's paper cut-outs present opportunities for innovation in the world of fan art. - **Gaming:** The video game character silhouettes appeal to gamers and could be used for products and promotions. - **Entertainment:** The iconic cartoon character silhouettes offer opportunities for merchandise and branding within the entertainment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ultra-Minimal Arcade Gaming Cabinets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-arcade-cabinet.md) - [Artistic Game-Inspired Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louis-de-guzman-1.md) - [Digital Collectible Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-figure-box.md) - [80s-Inspired 16-Bit Display Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/16bit-display.md) - [Analog Nostalgia Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-basics-ii.md) - [Video Game-Themed Pixel Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixel-art-collection.md) - [Nostalgic 3D-Printed Arcade Clocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade-clock.md) - [Pixelated Toy-Like Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/litebrite-pop-wow-wall-art.md) - [Minimalistic Feline-Inspired Vases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cat-silhouette-vase.md)
