Hi, I’m Erik Winkowski and Paper Films is my weekly newsletter where I share my films, artwork, and visual experiments. Through this newsletter, you’ll get a glimpse into my studio: the process behind my work, and the inspirations fueling it.
After years of sharing my animations on social media and creating work for clients like Prada, Gucci, Hermès, and The New York Times, I wanted to build a quieter, more personal space, free from ads and algorithms, where I could connect with people who love the process of making things as much as I do.
What You’ll Find in Your Inbox:
Short Films: Under-one-minute films about art-making and everyday magic.
Handmade Art Books: Experimental books I’m working on – plus early previews and animated trailers.
ZINEMAIL: An email zine filled with collages, photos, animated gifs, paintings, and a soundtrack.
Process & Inspiration: Behind-the-scenes looks at how I create my work, along with reflections on my favorite books, films, and artists.
Q&A: Occasional posts where you can ask me anything you’d like.
If you’re excited about art, books, film, animation, and the joy of experimentation, I’d love for you to join me here.
Paper Films is free but if you’d like to support me with a donation that would be extremely cool of you. 😎
