It was during my experiments with graffiti stencils that the idea of paper cuts came to my mind, then I began by creating the stencils in inverse fashion.

Papercut Artworks are all sketched and hand carved individually from single sheets of paper using a pencil and papercut Knife.

I use 120 gsm paper, a surgical knife, a cutting mat and a pencil. Being an art enthusiast, I observe a lot and whenever I am stuck at something, that becomes my inspiration for the day and I end up sketching that particular thing.

Now that I am generating good revenue from my papercut craft, I thought to take the art ahead and that's the reason I have started developing them into t-shirts/badges and they will be easily available in India through online shopping networks.
