Callum Russell - freelance illustrator and designer living in London

Introducing Callum

I'm a papercut artist and illustrator from London.

I've always used Swann-Morton blades because I've found they provide the best precision for the intricate cuts I need to make into the delicate sheets of paper.

The pieces I create are very detailed and a steady hand and a sharp blade are essential!

Thanks.
