Marshall Alexander is, like me, one of the designers that are invited to contribute to the book made by Matt Hawkins (read more). But why haven’t I written about him before? Well, Marshall didn’t have a blank template to customize! When I started a forum topic on NicePaperToys about my todo-list Marshall wasn’t even on [...]

One of my inspiration to create Grumm was Sjors Trimbach with Brickboy. Back then I visited his site weekly and after a while I noticed that there were no more updates of new Brickboys. Some time later I found Brickboys creations on sites of designers who had created a custom Brickboy. Sjors wrote about it [...]

This is a strange entry in the Urban papercraft series: jins studio22cool pet rangeland paper model and toy design I normally would write about this project: you can adopt a papermodel for the right amount of cash. Especially the fact that you have to pay for a papermodel is something that I don’t like, but [...]

By accident (I was creating a custom for another paper toy designer) I created a new papertoy. This is the first time I create a real toy. It’s called drukk and its still a papertoy in progress (WIP), but here you have an example made in Google Sketchup: Because it’s not a ‘static’ toy (you [...]
Update #1: Grim Grinning Grunt can now be downloaded on the website of NiceBunny This is a first for me: I finished a custom design! I have a very bad habit of starting something, but never finishing it… I think I have about 6 custom toy designs (from different designers) laying around that need just [...]
One of the artist in the PaperToy book created by Matt Hawkins is Jerom. Jerom is a French artist, which makes it very hard for me to follow his blog: it’s in French which I don’t speak…. But Google is nice to help me a little: translate Jerom’s blog. Jerom uses his blog not only [...]

Update #1: I have written a post about Jerom Update #2: Read about Macula 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 [...]

Update #1: I’m now part of the Hedkase family Why have I never written about Nice Bunny? Probably because of the controversy around his first designs. The first time I saw a design of Nice Bunny was the “Nice Bunny Paper Toys” (Tagger, DJ, Samurai, etc.) I wanted to write about him immediately, but I [...]

Some time ago Nice Bunny started a social network about papercraft. There are a lot of very talented people who are already part of this network and you don’t need an invitation. The only thing you need, is the “love” for paperToys… And the nice thing about people who are all doing the same thing, [...]

Update #1: Everything about this project seems to have disappeard, and that is the reason this post seems to empty… If you know about the new location or a gallery; just let me know. Custom Vibe, a site about designer toy customs and ‘making new friends’, has a little paper fella that you can customize. [...]
