  1. These are incredible, though I feel like a nerd for recognizing most of these.

    Are there only three Arrested Development ones, or did I miss some?

    And it's too bad the theme makes it impossible to utilize Phantom Limb's defining characteristic.

  2. Pretty Amazing! Are they for sale?

    ReplyDelete
  3. This is wonderful, but I wish they included the titles of the pieces. The titles and placement of the frames in relation to each other added an extra level of humor that a picture of the work by itself can't capture.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Well done! Great body of work. I had a blast looking through them.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Wow. That was fun tolook through. Quite a talent!

    ReplyDelete
  6. These are quite simply brilliant. I know I should recognise more than I did, but those I did delighted me :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. Absolutely Amazing! You really have a great amoutn of talent!

  8. Can I buy one of these from you good sir and if yes would you be willing to tell me for what sum?

    ReplyDelete
  9. I would definitely love the Reservoir Dogs myself, but it would have been nice, without being a spoiler, if the image filenames were a clue. Some of them were familiar but I had no idea.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Not only are these REALLY well executed....
    but (I think more importantly) your choice of characters is so brilliant!

    I mean... you have characters like the Reservoir Dogs, Doug Funny, and Statler and Waldorf. Come on!

    BRILLIANT!

    ReplyDelete
  11. So, so, so great. I only wish there was a cheat sheet for the character names; some were tantalizingly familiar. Please keep doing these!

    ReplyDelete
  12. LOVE these! And I too must ask... are any of them for sale? Quite interested!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. These are so awesome!! Love the variety of characters.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Please make the robots from fifth element!

    ReplyDelete
  15. Awesome! Loved trying to figure out the characters. I only recognized about half I think.

    I miss some Doctors though. Would make a great (if big) collage...

    ReplyDelete
  16. loooooovely, so great work!!

    i recognised almost all of them, you should include a list with names ^^'

    congrats, sure succes! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I second what Katja said, every new one I saw I was thinking "wow, this is fantastic, I hope there's a Doctor Who piece"

    ReplyDelete
  18. Are you willing to sell some of your artwork, because I am interested in buying some of them. let me know.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Oooh. Here's my wallet, take my money! Or, as other has said, I'd love to buy a copy of these. :)

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is it possible to buy some of these??? Thank's!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Amazing! You really know how to capture the iconic element in each of these. So many potential desktops here!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Brilliant stuff! Great to see you used the 'real' Dredd and not the movie rubbish! I'd be very interested in buying that from you...

    ReplyDelete
  23. These are fantastic! Please tell me you plan on selling some of them.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I am going to jump on the 'please sell one of these to me' bandwagon. These would be AWESOME as a small screen print or something.

    ReplyDelete
  25. If you made prints and sold them for around $20, I would buy at least 8 of them.

  30. Did I see Hank Venture wearing his Batman mask? Brilliant!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. It looks like a few are missing from this set, namely Dr. Who and John McClane from Die Hard. In case anyone wants to see the whole set: http://www.popowl.com/2011/05/26/olly-moss-paper-cuts-gallery-1988/

    ReplyDelete
  32. Gorgeous.

    I do sort of wish you'd separated them into smaller sections & posted separately--this arrangement makes it hard to go back and look again in small doses. Also, there are individual ones I'd like to point out to friends.

    But again, gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I was looking for Deckard and BAM! xD


    PD. Spike Spiegel shilouette was totally killer.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Oh My God! Olly they're amazing. Well done, sir.

    I demand the right to have prints of about 15 of these going up my staircase wall. Purplease!!!

    How do you still get personality in the black bits? How?

    ReplyDelete
  35. so... that was way more cool than it possibly should have been. mad props

    ReplyDelete
  36. Amazing... and I love that some are more obscure characters.

    ReplyDelete
  37. These are really great! enjoy looking at them... Thanks for sharing....

    ReplyDelete
  38. Purely awesome stuff.

    Good stuff, man.

  44. Well done! You'd think that some of these folks would be impossible to recognize in silhouette (Hellboy? lol Amazing.) but you pulled it off nicely. =)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Never before have I been able to say that a combination of Pinochio, Ghostbusters, Waldo, Black Knight, Doug, Lermit, Carmen SanDiego, Beetlejuice, the old guys from Muppets, Homer, Frye, Inspector Gadget, Wylie Coyote and Roadrunner, and Alf made my morning.

    Thank you oh so very much, sir. And I would like to echo the sentiment of many other commenters ... ARE THESE FOR SALE AND WHERE CAN I GET THEM?! :D

    ReplyDelete
  46. Zarkin' awesome! I love nerdyness! :D

    Love it :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. It would be great to see one of Elvira!

    ReplyDelete
  58. Oh my goodness gracious the Up! one makes me want to cry! Are you selling these? I'd love to buy that one!!!! (well and many of the others, but my wallet would probably limit me to one)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Oh, my goodness. Can I please please please buy the Carmen Sandiego and Waldo one? Please?

    ReplyDelete
  60. These are so utterly amazing. I wish I could see these in person! They are incredible. I've always loved paper and wood cut art and I'm currently trying to learn how to make them myself. Any professional tips or tricks you can offer a beginner?

    ReplyDelete
  61. That is so awesome. I am so amazed at these. Wonderful job. Wonderful.

    ReplyDelete
  62. These are beautiful. Unfortunately, I find the lack of identifications frustrating. It is possible I am simply missing some of the pop-culture references obvious to people ten or twenty years younger than me (I feel suddenly old at 43), but in many of these cases this feels like an inside joke from which I am being excluded.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Wow, I absolutely love these. Are you going to be creating more, or not? I know this has already been asked, but is there potential to purchase any works in the future?

    I saw quite a few I recognized and would love to own some of the specific ones I recognized, simply for nostalgia of memories I have related to certain pieces I saw.

    ReplyDelete
  73. awesome!! it's like the artist has the same tastes as i do. I couldn't believe the three breasted lady from total recall.

    ReplyDelete

    Im curious!

    ReplyDelete

  108. Wonderful work, I really enjoyed viewing these and would even considering buying some of them. But no Princess Leia? Really? Is it because she only has two boobs? ;P

    ReplyDelete
  109. This is a great example of award winning yet simple. I tell my audience all the time at best iphone 4 apps that apps can be great and don't have to be sophisticated. These paper cut out are a good example of that. My favorite was the one of waldo. That guy in stripes always keeps me laughing.

  112. Ver su blog me ha traído recuerdos de hace unos 40 años. Había entonces en Sevilla un artista callejero que con solo unas tijeras y cartulinas hacía sobre la marcha, la silueta de algún viandante y por una módica cantidad de dinero se la vendía. Llegó a tener tanto éxito que a veces había colas
    para conseguirlas, yo tuve una de mi padre y mi madre que se extravió en una mudanza y nos dio mucha pena.
    Ya solamente felicitarle, porque la suyas son muy bonitas propias de un artista.
    Un saludo

  113. As a suggestion, only because I didn't see one, Pinhead would be outstanding. Just fantastic work!

  115. Great work. I can guess all but 24. Favorites are Seinfeld, Jay and Silent Bob, Mulder and Scully, and Pulp Fiction. Some ones you should make: Breaking Bad, Tony Soprano, Conan (orange hair), some old school action heroes. But not Chuck Norris. Cuz nothing cuts Chuck Norris!
