Henrik Drescher

I love the raw feeling of Henrik's collages. What I find really interesting about Notpaper is the different kinds of people who become collage artists and where everyone is from. Many of the people I feature are graphic designers, so Henrik's actual job as a particle physicist is certainly unique.
