Well, hello there.

Well, hello there and welcome to The Tear Sheet Project. As a photo editor and design geek, I love nothing more than to save mountains of magazines and tear sheets and hide them away in my little apartment for inspiration at a later date. Check back often to see tears from my favorite photographers, illustrators, magazines and blogs, and who knows, perhaps what I obsess about here at The Tear Sheet Project will provide a little inspiration for you.
