I can&#8217;t find a lot of builders who approach papercraft with a urban style). I like the simple shapes he uses to create the figures and that they fit on one pace of paper. But what makes him a genius is the fact that he makes <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DIY\">DIY<\/a> paper toys. And it works&#8230;. I want to design one too. So this will be added to my wish list. I especially like the GRITTY.<\/p>\n<p>An example: <strong>darkimey X GRITTY<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image100\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRITTY_darkimey.jpg\" alt=\"GRITTY darkimey\" \/><br \/>\nOne of the master himself: <strong>QRCOD GRITTY<\/strong><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image105\" src=\"http:\/\/www.matthijskamstra.nl\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/GRITTY_QRCODE.jpg\" alt=\"GRITTY QRCODE\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So if you have some spare time try one of these: the custom designed paper model collection especially made as a canvas for graffiti writers and designers who want to present their work for public!
