Not that we didn’t have a million other reasons to go to New York. If you are going to be in New York before April 4th… check out the Museum of Arts and Design, or visit the online collection. Artist have regained their interest in using paper as a medium and have done some pretty profound things with it. Breathless!

Natalie Perkins draws on walls, like I did as a child, only she gets paid to do so. She also “creates whimsical yet wistful pieces which incorporate finely detailed line work as well as hand drawn lettering and builds pictures out of intricate clumps of paisleys, drawn with a moderate-sized army of pens and pencils.” You must check out her website to see more!
