Bird Mafia by Emily Brown
Emily Brown of Oregon based design company Bird Mafia produces whimsical paper cut artwork with mind boggling intricacy. She hand-draws and hand-cuts each piece using an xacto knife. There is no use of lasers, stencils, or die cut. It's amazing how she adds texture, feathers and fur to her animals with precise, tiny cuts.
She has an online store on etsy where she sells her paper cuts, shadow boxes with beautiful scenes, or turns them into tea towels, pillows and stationery.
You can find more of her work blogged in the past here.

Detailed and Colorful Artwork by Esben Hanefelt Kristensen
Danish artist Esben Hanefelt Kristensen is well-known for his incredibly intricate paintings. His enchanting artwork is filled with colorful fairies, animals, birds, and Scandinavian inspired flora and fauna. His pieces are delicately drawn across canvases, unfolding a whole new world that's almost hidden in the complexity of the pictures.
Esben Hanefelt himself says: "I work with tales because life is a fairytale".
