Endless Summer on Mix
For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, summer is drawing to a close, putting us in a reflective mood. It’s been an eventful season, particularly on Mix. Here’s a taste of what our community has been up to over the last few months.
Paper fans al-L and Rich R remixed a sketch by our head of community, Heather Champ, turning her jet plane and cloud into an aerial view of a neighborhood.
On Friday, June 26th, same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States! Our community proudly celebrated the occasion with over 250 remixes. We love this forecast by architectural engineer and freelance designer Joey Gao.
This little bird by Chen Ruby won the hearts of FiftyThree fans on Facebook, receiving more love than any other sketch we featured this season!
A plain doughnut got a dose of imaginative flavors thanks to 500 remixes.

We all need to disconnect sometimes, so early this summer we shared five easy ways to unplug. (Drastic measures not necessary.)
With the launch of Paper’s free Think Kit diagramming tools, making patterns became all the rage.

To celebrate the awe-inspiring work you guys create, we teamed up with sister companies CanvasPop and Crated to host a design contest using Paper. Pictured below is Jay Weight, one of the winners, showing off his prize! Check out the eleven winning artworks, and purchase them as canvas or framed prints for your home or office. The lion’s share of proceeds go directly to each artist, so get some new art and support fellow creators.
For those who want prints of their own Paper sketches, the team at CanvasPop has extended a generous $30 discount (offer expires December 2015). Just enter CPFIFTYTHREE30 at checkout. Due to CanvasPop’s delivery locations, this offer is only valid for residents in the US, Canada, and EU.
