I've been looking for new ideas and new themes to draw paper dolls.
That's when I found the Literary Paper dolls project on the web, created by writer Julia Berick in partnership with illustrator Jenny Kroik.
Julia Berick writes for The Paris Review and lives in New York. Jenny Kroik is an illustrator and painter with work published in The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Penguin Random House, and more.
With the Litterary Paper dolls project, they brought to life, in the form of paper dolls, some characters from classic novels as well known as Mrs Dalloway, Franny and Zooey, Cassandra at the wedding, among others.
Each character comes with a wardrobe according to the writer's description and Julia Berick's imagination. The paper dolls resulting from this project can be viewed and are accessible online for free.Take a look on this article from The Paris Review
People can join Julia and Jenny in this initiative, with drawing and painting materials, in an online drawing session led by Julia and do the exercise of designing a wardrobe for a paper doll according to the clues in the book.
What an interesting idea to look at works of literature with new eyes or for a Book club session! :)

Nazário (1944-) is a well-known European underground comic artist from Spain.
The young artist lived in the first persona in Barcelona, countercultural and libertine in the last years of Francoism and the first of transition: hippies, shared floors, communes, homosexuality lived without complexes, pimps, threesomes, boys and ghettos, pot, acids, liters of alcohol and, above all, a feeling of freedom.
His comics "ridiculed the fundamental Spanish moral values" instituted in traditional Spanish society, such as female virginity and sexual abstinence. Nazário is a contemporary artist from Tom of Finland and designed the first gay comic book in Spain in the early 70s: La Piraña Divina. Because of this he was persecuted by the authorities.
Nazário's most well known work is Anarcoma, a comic strip about a transvestite detective - half Humphrey Bogart, half Lauren Bacall according to the author - in an openly homosexual, sometimes pornographic environment.
Although Anarcoma is his best-known work, Mujeres Raras - disclaimed by publishers and the public - is considered by the author one of his best works. Nazário, tired of painting 'pollas' (dicks), created several stories with complicated love stories such as Salomé, a free version of Oscar Wilde's work; Amantes based on a story by Pu Songling; a series of amusing Greek epigrams with Jupiter, its disguises and its lovers, as protagonists; a detailed and sadomasochistic account of the martyrdom of a Christian saint or Helena the monologue of a woman who wanted to stop loving her lover and does not know how to confess it. With Ali Babá y los 40 maricones where he explores various archetypes of homosexuals, he says goodbye to comics.
With a long career full of many works of art and awards, Nazário continues his career in the editorial market, publishing, making exhibitions and giving interviews where he talks openly about his work, his rich life experiences and the historical context in which he lived.
His life is so rich, full of experiences about freedom, breaking barriers and prejudices, caring for others, artwork, love and much more as you can see on his website. You can take a look at his website.
In Nazario's work we can find some recortables (paper dolls)!
