Leaf Carving
Natural leaf carving is actual manual cutting and removal of a leaf’s surface to produce an art work on a leaf. The process of carving is performed by artists using tools to carefully remove the surface without cutting or removing the veins. The veins add detail into the subject matter of the carving.
The material or most common leaf used in leaf carving is the leaf of a Chinar tree. The Chinar tree is native to India, Pakistan and China. Chinar leaves have a close resemblance to maple leaves.

Jerod Gibson
Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of minimalist posters. Jerod Gibson adds one more element by putting memorable quotes within the artwork from each movie. If you’ve seen any of these movies, you’ll recognize each icon and the quotes are sure to make you remember what made these films so great.
