. . Toying With Paper . .

Heh.. yeah, I know it's been a while since I last blog. Well, basically it's been the usual almost everyday. But hey! I've picked up a new hobby! Or well, something like that.

Recently, I bought a book on papertoys called Urban Paper.

Authored by Matt Hawkins, one of the many contributors for the book. Matt also contributes to a blog regarding all about papertoys here. Most of the designs/papertoys on the internet are free. You just need to download into your computer, print it out and start building!

Urban Paper is a book compiled with lots of creatively designed toys from many many artist! Basically the book itself contains the printed out designs. But also included with the book are softcopies of the designs within the Bonus DVD. The DVD includes some extra designs that are not already printed into the book. Also in the DVD are some blank designs * for our own customised designs*.

Been quite busy, after work and also on weekends building up on these papertoys. Although there are some that are quite hard to build, most are fairly easy to glue together.

I've yet to finish building the all the toys that are in the book. Maybe not. There are some designs that I think are not successful as a papertoy. Some designs are hard to cut out *these design would have too many curves to cut!*. Some are quite intricate to glue. But then again, most are fairly easy.

Here are some of the design/toys I like!!!

Paperboy by Marshall Alexander

Thug by Filippo Perin

E440 by Ringo Krumbiegel

Rommy by Tetsuta Watabe

And on the DVD some bonus templates/designs from Marshall Alexander which I think all basics of papertoys should take note from. I especially like this TOXIC-MYK design as it is simple to cut, quite easy to glue together and the design has character. You can getMarshall Alexander's papertoys here.

Well, yup.. I haven't start on some of the designs that I've been wanting to do yet. Will post it up here as and when I'm done with a toy. I've also been toying around with the idea of creating my own paper toys!

Hehe.. been having some ideas swimming in my head..
