Holiday Treats!

Over the holidays, Papertopias was magically filling stockings with frisky faeries, glitter, and paper dolls. Here are a few of the treats sent out over the season!


1: The original painting of Ession, an Anarchist Paper Doll framed. This illustration, inspired by Johan Ess, graced the back of Fifth Estate's Fall Vol. 46, the Anarchist Fiction Issue.





2: Mermaid in a Coffin paper doll postcards. These postcards where modified to say "Greeting from New Orleans". The original says "Greeting from Brooklyn".






3: A custom paper doll set for Justin Lange, of Magic Hat Films. Complete with arduino and ukulele! Justin received the originals as well as this hand bound printed booklet of his set.












4: Custom stationary. This stationary is adorned with white peacock butterflies and water hyssop, both non invasive species for this plant lover in Florida!








How were your holidays?
Cheers!

Ession: An Anarchist Paper Doll Layout

Sorry for the delayed blogs, I am working on an outrageously glamourous steampunk wedding with Rebecca Shepherd, so bronze, gold, and copper paper gear work assortments for the tables and escort cards are going to be showing up on the blog soon! Perhaps a few chinese lanterns as well....As of last week, I was recently honored by being asked to make a paper doll for the longest running radical Anti-authoritarian mag in the U.S., Fifth Estate. In the past I contributed art work for the magazine's issues on Ursula K. Le Guin, and was delighted to hear from them again (perhaps a future post....). The Johan Ess deviant paper doll creation, Ession, was perfect for this issue on Anarchist Fiction, as well as being fresh on the ink table sans clothing. I hope you enjoy this sneak peak, the magazine will be out shortly. I will keep you posted!




For the curious,
The T-shirt supports Marie Mason. It was designed by Just Seeds artist Erik Ruin.
The hoodie supports St. Pauli, an antifascist German Soccer team.
The book is by Peter Kropotkin, and is titled "Mutual Aid".
Tank top is Black Flag.
The rest......;)

Cheers!!

New Doll of the Week! Esseion


New Doll of the Week! A paper doll inspired by Johan Ess, a most magikal creature I met while
traversing the galaxies, we drank intraclusteral tea, ate star dust, and sang until the sun expoloded. It was pure divinity!

Here is a bit the wiley Johan has illuminated for us about his passions, and sonic creations. Enjoy!

"As a demonic sound creatress, clearly with frisky fairy-like tendencies, I enjoy transgressing the notion of normality while raising energies in whichever new ways I find possible. The curious are encouraged to check out my blog and mixes at http://www.johan-ess.com/ while my new album is coming out next month and can be previewed at


I hope you enjoy your travels with this amazing paper doll.
Cheers!
