Category: Urban papercraft

By accident I stumbled into the work of Illectronics. I was looking for some cool papercraft and found this image:

a Shin Tanaka custom of El Carmesi, which I’ve seen before but always assumed it was a vinyl custom…

It’s not! This is a personal project called crossville which is set out into the paperworld to conquer all!

There are two very interesting models to be made:

• El Carmesi
• Sparkplug

You can visit Illectronics, goto work and the goto misc and see the models (and some customs).

If you want to create a custom, you need to send a mail to Sharim Gubbels (I could link directly to his email adress but for that you need to go to his site) which email address can be found here with a small explanation.

And you can see some images here in a little gallery I made:
Crossville project by Illectronics (customs and some other models).

We hate glue… the people of Marrsbar have started a papercraft competition: and as the title says, no glue required.

And the price?? 250 euros!
What to do: customize a paper arcade machine.
But you have to design fast, the deadline is 30th of April (2007).

• Just download the blank template (PDF)
• Place your grafics
• and send it back (“more” detailed information here)

No feeling inspired? Want to see some examples, to check out the competition visit the we hate glue gallery
or view the gallery here

So stop reading, start earning money and create!

Cutnejo is a cross-eyed bunny by /antiheroe

You can just build it and take a picture and send it back to antiheroes, but you can make a custom out of it:

So have some fun with it!

This is something I wanted to create, but now I find out it already exists… bad for me & good for me, and you: it combines two hobbies: papercraft and one of the-four-elements-of-hiphop: graffiti.

All City Style: if you don’t get it, you probably never will.
So to catch up: graffiti / tag and read this book: Subway Art

Not feeling so brave (or getting too old for that shit): here is an legal way to create your top-to-bottom!
And you can do in the comfort of your home, using crayons, finger-paint, or whatever you got laying around.

Two images to show what’s possible: [1] | [2]

Download the “All City Style Blank Subway Car” and start tagging!

This project combines two other interests of mine: HipHop (kinda indirect, but it is there) and papercraft:

Ghettopaper gives you the opportunity to design you own ghetto blaster.

And because the viewer in GhettoPaper isn’t all that (not really true, because you can also visit the website/mail the artist and download the file) you can view everything here my viewer:
