Shin Tanaka updated his site so check http:\/\/shin.co.nr\/<\/a> out.
\nAnd he added T-BOY HOODY<\/strong> to the list of paper toys you can customize or design! Just drop Shin one of the following email in his mailbox: “T-BOY HOODY”<\/a> , “GRITTY”<\/a> , and “SPIKY BABY”<\/a>.<\/div>\n

I decided to share a “hobby” of mine (read more about my “hobbies”<\/a>).<\/p>\n

But I will only share the cool<\/strong> part of it: I’m talking about urban papercraft<\/a>.
\nThe cool customizable paper toys who are similar to that of the vinyl scene<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Shin Tanaka<\/a> is my favorite (well …. I can’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 DIY<\/a> paper toys. And it works…. I want to design one too. So this will be added to my wish list. I especially like the GRITTY.<\/p>\n

An example: darkimey X GRITTY<\/strong>
\n\"GRITTY
\nOne of the master himself: QRCOD GRITTY<\/strong>
\n\"GRITTY<\/p>\n

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! Or design a SPIKY BABY or GRITTY<\/p>\n

Basic Spike<\/strong> from the SPIKY BABY [SERIES 3]<\/strong> – box
\n\"SPIKE<\/p>\n

\"SPIKE << An example from bicho<\/strong><\/p>\n

The only “comment” I have about Shin that his portfolio-site doesn’t let us see everything he made in the past: he also made some papercraft based on figures from Michael Lau<\/a> (Michael Lau creates bad ass figures!!): Davy (red), Davy in different colors, SF.M.L.F, and a “Special Paper Model Download Page” in English.<\/p>\n
