II LOVE mag – YEBOMAYCU

I’m in the latest edition of the II LOVE magazine from Marko Zubak

In this issue we will remain on the first phase of creation, the form. Here the accent is put on the sculptural aspect of denuded paper toys, giving an impression that each one of them represents it’s own species.
Here is shown a selection of more than 50 paper toys, but of course, there are lot of other different kinds of paper toys out there. Many great designs are left out because of various reasons and I feel really sorry for some of them.

This is the first time I have an explanation page (the first page) with the templates. I couldn’t fit the explanation onto the templates, so don’t print the first page!.

I’m being ripped off…

Update #1: On NicePaperToys there is a discussion about this topic started by Brian Castleforte: read it here

This is a first…
I know it happens to other artist, but I would never thought it would be happening to me.

A Chinese website is selling my free papertoys…. they are making money of my free papertoys.

I want this the first thing you read: you don’t have to pay money for Drukk or Grumm!!! They are FREE papertoys for you to enjoy. A lot of papertoys on this Chinese website are free, so they must have stolen it!!!

And so there is NO misunderstanding:

  • I didn’t know they are selling my papertoys
  • I never agreed about selling my papertoys on this website
  • I don’t get paid from any papertoy they sell
  • You don’t have to pay for my papertoys: THEY ARE FREE

They stole Grumm: visit the search page

But this is even worst: Drukk and all the customs made by other designers are sold there: visit the search page

And I’m not the only one: Speakerdog, NiceBunny, Horrorwood, SIZZA to name a few.
They don’t even take the time to build the models, they just use the images that the papertoy designers use on their websites….

Because I don’t want “help” the Google raking of this website with this post, I used a rel="nofollow" in the links (read more about that on wikipedia)
