Greetings from FiftyThree! The team here is always on the lookout for eye-catching creations, and we’re excited to share some of our recent favorites.

Say Yes To The Dress

The weather is finally warming up for those of us in the Northern hemisphere and while it may not be quite hot enough for dresses, that hasn’t deterred the Paper community from remixing Aquarius’ template of a dress. Over 500 people have drawn floral motifs, sketched geometric prints, and imported photos to create some truly unique dresses.

Using Paper To Innovate At Michael Kors

As part of the digital innovation team at Michael Kors, Nick Velazquez helps introduce new technology to the company at large. Paper allows Nick to keep track of and communicate his ideas, which range from meeting agenda items, to sketches of flows for UX and UI, to doodling just for fun.

Get Creative For Worldwide Draw A Bird Day!

April 8th is Draw A Bird Day! Whether you’re a casual doodler or a professional artist, help us celebrate this global tradition that dates back to 1943. Share your bird sketches in the Public Stream/Mix with the #drawabirdday hashtag, and your bird could be featured on our social media accounts! For inspiration, check out the sketches above by Mia Timmerman, Natali R., Dalva Bastos, and Woody.

How To Use Paper For Hand Lettering

If you don’t fancy yourself a bird portraitist, try you hand at learning letting from Chris Ritter, an Art Director at Buzzfeed. Be sure to check out this video tutorial created by Chris and Buzzfeed’s DIY team that uses Paper to teach various techniques.
