I have written about the paperToys book from Matt Hawkins before: it’s a book about the most talented paperToy designers in the world!

(and I’m part of that group )

Because the list is so impressive I should write about these people…..
And I already did that: a lot of these paperToy designers are part of my Urban papercraft series

But there are some where I will not write about: not because they are not talented, but they don’t meet the requirements for my definition of Urban Papercraft. So I hope I don’t offend someone, but this group of designers will be striked out (like this)

1. Shin Tanaka — read my posts yes, wrote about him more then once…
2. 3eyed Bear — read my post
3. Speaker Dog — read my post
4. Toypaper — read my post I love papercraft/Flash

I see I have my work cut out for me….

Paper Toy Book preview, originally uploaded by Custom Paper Toys.

Last year I was invited to joint a group of 24 of the most talented paper toy designers in the world. Matt Hawkins (you know him from his site Custom Paper Toys or his contributions to Paperforest) started a book which will be publish early 2009.

On the image you see the first half of the papertoys:

• Freaky Tiki by Nice Bunny
• Headnoddaz MAx 95 by Jonny Chiba
• Antlor 2 SECURITV by Kenn Munk
• DogBug by Sjors Trimbach
• Big Chief by Big Chief Design
• PoscaBoy by Jerom
• Three Eyed Bear by Maarten Bladvulling
• Barkley Speakerdog by Ben the Illustrator
• Paperboy by Marshall Alexander
• Son of a Grumm by Matthijs Kamstra
• Sizza by Nick Knite

Just visit flickr and see the notes on the picture, so you see who made what….

My toy is the one with the gun: I call it Son of a Grumm.
When I have my own pictures of it, I will post it here
