The Great Viking Holiday Giveaway
December 12, 2011, 10:47 am Posted by Craft Your Life Team
Jared Andrew Schorr is a super cool illustrator and paper artist with an Esty shop fittingly called Super Cool Spy Club and a website designed from his charming paper cut art (check it: www.jaredandrewschorr.com, it’s like walking into an old school movie theater made of paper!). He’s also one of the thirty artists included in PUSH Paper with pieces that showcase his use of bright color and great sense of humor.
A few months back I fell in love with one of Jared’s small, one-of-a-kind papercuts on his Etsy shop and snapped it up. As an extra special gesture, Jared sent us one of his original papercuts and a few additional goodies, and I’ve been saving them for a special holiday giveaway for our readers.
Here’s what you’ll get if you win The Great Viking Holiday Giveaway (read on for a chance to enter):
* Jared’s original papercut Viking artwork, shown at the top of the post and below. (Oh, and check out the other artworks in this series, from Jared’s blog)
* A copy of PUSH Paper, featuring Jared and 29 other extraordinary paper artists
* An adorable pocket mirror with a print of one of Jared’s papercuts
To enter for a chance to win, leave a comment by 10 pm EST on Monday, December 19th. I’m curious to know what you’d like to see Jared cut from paper, or to hear your thoughts about PUSH Paper or even what paper arts you’re working on for the holidays. One winner will be selected at random and announced on Tuesday, December 20th. Click here for the official rules.
Good luck, and may your holidays be filled with warmth and cheer, to your viking!
I love being inspired by different art forms, and the paper artwork is really cool. The PUSH series is a great way to get these artists work out there. I had won a Silhouette (lucky me) and I’m looking for cutwork patterns for paper to play with. Have a Happy Monday!
His work is awesome! I love the “This will be our year” paper cut & the vinyl! I really like his chez camera paper cuts too. It’d be fun to see more cameras & vintage cameras or even tall tale characters!
This is great. My mother recently got involved with paper cut art and has done some amazing things through her classes at the San Antonio Southwest School of Art and this book sounds like a great holiday gift. I’ve always enjoyed pieces inspired by the sea. It would also be neat to see Jared’s self portrait out of paper. Thanks for sharing.
Papercutting just floors me–I don’t know how folks do it and with such flair. Jared’s work is amazing and hilarious–I think the sense of humor is what sets it apart. I’d love to see more pun-ny work, or perhaps more little vignettes like the “Natives” piece–I like the snapshot-ish, old postcard feel to it.
super work, the good news about precious metals being so absurdly costly is that more artists are working in other media. keep up the good work.
I’d like to see Jared cut fire out of paper .. either a campfire or a fireplace and not because I want precious paper to burn .. no, no, no .. I’m intrigued by Jared’s talent and I’m sure he could design a brilliant fire .. (no paper will be harmed by this fire .. only enjoyed)
Jared is just the cat’s pajamas… I love his basic shapes and would like to see more warriors and armor. I’d love to see how he simplifies more complex designs.
Jared is rad. Like, rad, so how about a cutout of the BMX helltrack from the movie “rad” depicting Cru’s victory over Bart?
I LOVE the Viking – Personally, I’d love see a technicolor dachshund or two!
The viking is fabulous. My brother-in-law is Norwegian and a huge Minnesota Vikings fan so I’d love to give that to him. I would like to see Jacob Marley and the other Ghosts.
Thank you for your generous giveaway. I love working with paper and look forward to be inspired by paper artists.
I would love to see Jared cut houses…any or all types of houses. Or maybe make the houses alive…like talking houses…if the walls could talk…
How exciting for a chance to win an original piece of artwork from Jared! I love the puns and the depth he creates! All around great stuff!!
Super fantastic, Jared! I love everything you do… and after being the recipient of a beer helmet on a yak cut out of paper, I’m pretty sure anything you do would be equally as cool… ;) Do you know that you are the the maker of the most pieces of actual art we own in this house? Too cool. So what would I like to see… wow, so hard! Probably my favorite has been your interpretation of people and trees… I don’t know why, but your portraits and your nature pieces are so beautiful to me.
I would enjoy any subject that he chose to create
Love your work. Love paper–what a great medium. Can you do a Frida Kahlo?
Beautiful. My little boy will be 3 on valentine’s day and this viking is so perfect for his day!!!!
I love vikings! I love Hagar in the funnies. I would love to see a Santa Claus viking!
I’d love to see a forrest scene. Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d love nursery art. Although honestly I’ve enjoyed all his work on his blog.
Oooo I’ve been wanting this book! And I’m a big fan of Jared’s work!
it would be nice to see mitsi muts cut out of paper and valentine’s day is my daughter’s birthday! (http://ingelavrijsen.blogspot.com/2011/02/waas.html)
This book looks great! I’d love to see cutouts representing other traditional crafts. My holiday paper arts are making books and cutting out some images of the tools I use.
[bouncing up and down, hand waving in air] Me! Me please! Me!

Really like to see more characters/heads – maybe a series.
I enjoy seeing what’s going on in the world of paper and papercutting. So thank you for the feature on Jared and his work, and thank you for the great giveaway!
I love Jared’s work! Thanks for the great giveaway. I’m looking forward to making a mobile of multicoloured origami cranes in the new year.

I’d love to see some Celtic designs to go with the Viking ones; maybe inspired by some of the Book of Kells images or simply some beautiful celtic crosswork.
I do love the Viking image though; amazing!
Sea animals and polar bears. This Xmas I’m adding photographs of my nieces and nephew onto paper automata templates that I downloaded.
I would love to see a papercut illustration of famous Bible stories, like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden or Noah’s ark. Or something that evokes each state. I wonder if it would translate if photographed and printed on a tshirt. I love, love, love Push Paper and so did my daughter who is a 3d papercraft fanatic!
I would love to see him do Adventure Time papercuts! I feel like the art style of that cartoon and his artstyle PLUS the papercuts would mesh amazingly together.
This is such a cute idea. Being from Minnesota, it would be a great valentine for Minnesota Vikings fans!
Okay, I am very excited about this! I have seen lots of different types of papercuts before, but these little characters are charming. And the art is amazing! I need this for my husband to spark a new hobby for him! He would love it!
