I recently received a pleasant surprise in the mail. One of my favorite paper artists, Matthew Shlian, has just released his latest self-published title, Papercuts. This cool papercraft book has over 15 models that you can copy, cut and create. The templates are well laid out and include some instructions and smaller diagrams to identify all those little cuts and folds. The designs range in complexity but should not take more than an hour to build. The characters are quirky and make a welcome addition to a few of the other papercraft collections that have hit the shelves this year.
I was able to get a sneak peek of some of these critters a few months ago when Matthew asked me and a select group of designers to adapt and design some additional papercraft figures that are included in the accompanying bonus disc. Drawing inspiration from his Chef and Sasquatch designs, I developed my first two papercraft designs.
Radiohead is a classic cathedral radio from the 1930s. Twist his nose dial to change the frequency and watch his eyes roll around in his head.
Pinhead comes with adjustable arms and four different moods allowing you to customize and build ten pins before knocking them over in a few frames of desktop bowling.
If you are interested in these little guys and many more fun papercraft projects, the signed Papercuts books can be purchased directly from Matthew’s excellent website.
