Amid the pile of layouts on my desk today for the next issue of HOW (http://www.howdesign.com), I found the feature article about Matthew Sporzynski that we’re working on. Let’s see: how to describe Sporzynski? He calls himself a “cardboard couturier,” but that’s deceptively simple. He creates dimensional objects in paper—eye-poppingly realistic, amazingly detailed, gorgeously crafted. A Parsons grad living and working in New York City, he’s honed a highly specialized business creating these paper scenes, most notably for Real Simple magazine. In the article, Sporzynski talks about how a childhood love of origami paper led to a fulfilling and productive creative career. Most designers I know have similar tales: a youth spent drawing, painting, photographing led—inevitably—to a career in some creative profession or another. Regardless of Sporzynski’s path, his work is stunning. Check it out. (Photo via Real Simple magazine)
