Nikki McClure

Someone gave us a small book called The Great Chicken Escape by Nikki McClure for Christmas and it was one of the most brilliant, simple, visual stories i have seen in years. Her work is beautiful and can be purchased at BuyOlympia.com.

From her site: Nikki McClure of Olympia, Washington is known for her painstakingly intricate and beautiful paper cuts. Armed with an X-acto knife, she cuts out her images from a single sheet of paper and creates a bold language that translates the complex poetry of motherhood, nature, and activism into a simple and endearing picture.

I came across the Wee Gallery booth and Dave Pinto while working a booth right across the aisle at the Kids & Baby Expo in Vegas last week. Dave and his wife have created amazing gifts for newborns based on his wifes artwork. Our kids have already used the coloring book, little tattoos and flashcards and love them- thanks Dave!
