Icon Library

This week we are bringing to Iconshock the origami icon guy himself…ladies and gentlemen, Here it is… Mr Paddy Donnelly!
Just about anyone in the internet interested in icons has seen his work. His origami icon set has been featured in tons of blogs and design magazines throughout the world, but this guy doesn’t stop there. He sure caught our attention with his icons, which I must say are one of the most original we’ve seen, but when we dug in his work, we found out that his designs go further. His “RedBurma” project uses clever visualization to bring to attention the atrocities that the military junta has casted upon their people. His other projects like “Shake hands with a stranger” and “Faces I see” deal with humanity and socialization in a new era where we seem to spend more time staring at a cold monitor than to somebody’s eyes. We are huge fans of his work, and that’s why we stalked him for weeks to get this interview. Enjoy the thoughts of a great artist, but overall a great guy.
