]]>Brodskaya prides herself in not drawing on paper, but with it, and she’s one of the most acclaimed paper artists of her generation. She became an Instagram sensation with 85,000 followers and counting thanks to her intricate paper illustrations, but it took her a while to find her true calling.
Brodskaya worked as a graphic designer and illustrator after graduating from the University of Hertfordshire in 2006. Her background had a strong influence on her work once she decided to switch to paper quilling.
“Painting with paper means imitating brushstrokes with tightly packed strips of paper, achieved by combining different color strips in a similar way as mixing paints on a palette. This new technique comes as close to real painting as possible, but with the added quality of a third dimension,” Brodskaya told Women Create.
Her technique significantly evolved over the years, and she detailed her journey and secrets of her craft in the book called Painting with Paper: Paper on the Edge. She also worked with a long list of high-profile clients, such as Wimbledon, Target, and Hermes.

. But now the pity party is over! Things are unpacked(ish)! My face doesn't feel like it's in a perpetual state of implosion! AND—for the first time in my life I have AIR CONDITIONING 
In sheer contrast, lettering and paper artist Alia Bright uses quilling to form uplifting mantras or recreate pop culture icons. Her modern take on the otherwise traditional craft is a breath of fresh air, and one to follow closely on Instagram.
Situated in Portland, Oregon in an old house amongst the trees, Bright’s paper artworks rely on her background in illustration, fine art, and graphic design. Each piece is made from paper and glue, with different weights and stocks often used in combination. Every strip of paper is first cut to fit, shaped individually by hand, and then carefully assembled into intricate shapes and forms.
“I feel a piece is successful when I achieve this, which requires a lot of restraint,” she told Colossal. “I try to maintain the right level of stylistic simplicity while still creating visual interest through color, pattern, and shadows.”
Take a look at some of her designs and notice how they play with perspective, shadow, and light.
) . The new lack of free time has really made me appreciate (and use) what little time I do have to work on pieces, instead of, you know, pissing it away watching a marathon of some trash MTV show that I secretly hate myself for loving….or whatever….
. The colors of this piece are inspired by my indignation that we didn't get a summer this year (more like a heinous heat-assault), so despite the weather now transitioning into Fall, I'm choosing to live in a psychedelic dayglo fantasy. In yo FACE, Portland weather!! 
This is gonna be fun!
Squeezes for mental wellness!! #squeezepleeze @goodtype
And if you really can't shake the itch to "save the souls" of people based on who they love, maybe focus on the people who fall in love with convicted serial killers in prison. I know, I know—LOVE IS LOVE—but….come on now #amirite? 
#lovewins #loveislove #pride
