Here are some very artfully done papercut illustrations by Graça Brohm from Holland that I saw on her innovative portfolio site.
What is clever, apart from the excellent style in the illustrations themselves, is the use of negative space and shadow to add extra depth to each piece.

What do people think of these?

Interesting works. The use of negative space is like the projects of Norma Bar. And Shadow is a good idea.
I agree, it’s nice to see illustrations with clever uses of negative space
wow i love these, makes me want to try cutting up paper instead of drawing on it…..hmmm where did i put my craft knife, though…?
Very nice! I like it alot
me too – must cut paper…
oh yes, isnt her work beautiful? i love it
great find. the more simple the design, the more striking it is with the use of shadows…
so right – simplicity strikes the right chords when looking at light effects
Beautiful work!
Love them
