I came across Estonian illustrator, Eiko Ojala, when I was researching shape based illustration for the vectors brief. I thought his work was really innovative and individual and I hadn't seen anything like it before. I love how simple the shapes and lines are but the crafting of the paper adds such depth and form to the image that you forget about how simple the designs actually are. It is said that Ojala uses real paper cuts with digital editing so I am doubtful that all of the shadows shown are entirely truthful but the idea behind his method of producing imagery is something I find really interesting and unique.
