Beautiful/Decay has a great piece on paper cutting up. It features 9 artists: Bovey Lee, Peter Callesen, Chris Natrop, Georgia Russell, Hunter Stabler, Kako Ueda, Natasha Bowdoin, Emma Van Leest, and Andreas Kocks.
I so want to learn to paper cut like this some day:
Bovey Lee, "Atomic Jellyfish", 2007
It’s awesome! :)
And trees, I can never get enough of cuts with trees in them:
Emma Van Leest, "Bucolica II", 2009

I realized it’s been a while since I posted a Ruki pic. So of course I have to fix that! :P She’s been zonked out in the window all afternoon:
And when I got closer, she looked up and her disheveled, sleepy-eyed, “why are you bothering me now” expression is too cute. :P
Have a happy day!
Thursday, The Huffington Post named some of the best publishers on Twitter and Tor was among those listed. Woot!
TOR (@torbooks) is one of the most prominent publishers of fantasy and science fiction books, so they have something of an advantage in the Twittersphere. TOR’s success — with over 13,000 followers — comes largely from the fact that it has a niche carved out for it, and knows who its audience is. In addition to info on TOR books, their Twitter feed provides great coverage of science fiction and fantasy news, and is also a place to talk about all sorts of related issues, from steampunk trends to the latest blogs from Cory Doctorow.
