Stunning Paper Toys by Rafa Miqueleto

Brazilian graphic designer and illustrator Rafa Miqueleto reimagines music legends as vibrant, quirky paper toys, blending craftsmanship with digital techniques.

From 2020 to 2023, he created hand-crafted caricatures of icons like Bob Marley, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, and David Bowie for Belas Letras, a publishing house celebrating music and pop culture. With nearly a decade of experience and collaborations with brands like Google, TNT, and Globo, Rafa has developed a distinctive style that brings personality and playfulness to his paper art.
