Shin Tanaka, one of my favorite urban papercraft artists, teamed up with Nooka.
Before this post I had never heard about Nooka, but they make very nice watches (which are difficult to find in the Netherlands).

Nice to know, but what has that to do with papercraft?
Nothing and everything, in a collaboration between the two, they created a papercraft project with the name “nooka boxboy“.
Check out NOOKA Collab | SHIN TANAKA.

Or some of the pictures:

And you can also submit your own designs, although I’ve been checking this site regularly but haven’t seen any updates in the Gallery.
But submitting won’t hurt, or you can make a custom just for yourself: save the nooka boxboy blank template and start designing.

Urban papercraft: PlayRoll

Very funny, and only the dutch understand really why this name is funny: PlayRoll.
(and I’m not going to explain it, because they don’t do it either)

PlayRoll - poo it yourself || series 1

Humans live on earth like pigs in a borehouse. Valuable resources are depleted and transformed into nuclear waste, CO2 emissions, chemical pollution and mere trash. The ending of our planet will come to pass. Emerged from human filth, resistant to all pollution

The first time I read about PlayRoll project was via PaperForest and it sounded very interesting.
But when I visited the homepage there was only one download: the Crash Test Bunny

Nice, but not a reason to write about this project.

But today I saw in one of my Flickr feeds, that the PlayRoll characters can be customized!
Beside a kit that you can buy, there are blank templates of 4 characters!

So visit the download section of PlayRoll.

Template CO&O

Template T-Rash

Template Nuke

Design Grumm

Grumm homepage update

I just updated the new Grumm homepage:

For the people that don’t know who Grumm is: read something about this moody piece of paper.

And if your not doing anything, read everything 😉 , build Grumm the Screamer Red and be one the 10465 people who downloaded it (and, I hope, put it together) or create a custom design and send them to me. (with 9039 downloads you expect a lot of customs…. 🙁 )

Grumm the Screamer Red

Show your appreciation for Grumm by ~~sending money, beer, holiday trips, cars, Flash books, fan-mail, transparant gifs~~ your pictures and custom designs of Grumm to me. I love it, and will place them on the Grumm homepage to see or download.
