Illustration: Nathaniel Russell's wonderful new wooden cut-outs

“Let me tell you, there are few things as satisfying as cutting a bunch of things out of heavy wood and painting them and dragging them around. It’s like being a shape lumberjack. I want to make a lot more of these until I am dead.” Yep, those are the words of one of our favourite illustrators Nathaniel Russell whose work has just made the leap from residing on paper to enormous pieces of wood. If you’re going to write a caption to go along with your project and it’s even half as good as what Nat said about these joyous new pieces of work, you’re on to something special. We hope you do keep it up ‘til you’re dead Nat, because this new work is wonderful.
