I recently bought a book of paper cuts by the incredibly talented Rob Ryan. While paper cuts may not seem like the most intriguing art form - how much can you really convey with one color and scissors? - his art is amazing and inspiring!! Both sweet and a bit melancholy. These are some of my favorite works of his.

Sweet without being sentimental - my favorite kind of love poem.
