Shawn Sheehy was in town recently to give some pop-up book workshops and told me about one of his former students, Phillip Bell. Phil recently graduated from Maryland Institute College of Art where he worked on various paper engineering projects. I love the two cute kids books he designed for Flying Frog Publishing, along with a pop-up guide to Baltimore. Additionally, Phil was able to explore the potential of pop-up package design. Whether it is collapsible paper speakers that are built out of the backing card or making a mini fan more fun with the addition of a pop-up farm and flying cows, we can see Phil is having a lot of fun with pop-ups. Let’s hope we see more of his work in the future, until then I’ll have to be distracted from this current heatwave with my old tabletop fan and some homemade origami cranes.
