Update #1: I got the complete list of paper toy designers from Matt Hawkins
Last year I was invited to joint a group of 24 of the most talented paper toy designers in the world. Matt Hawkins (you know him from his site Custom Paper Toys or his contributions to Paperforest) started a book which will be publish early 2009.
On the image you see the first half of the papertoys:
- Freaky Tiki by Nice Bunny
- Headnoddaz MAx 95 by Jonny Chiba
- Antlor 2 SECURITV by Kenn Munk
- DogBug by Sjors Trimbach
- Big Chief by Big Chief Design
- PoscaBoy by Jerom
- Three Eyed Bear by Maarten Bladvulling
- Barkley Speakerdog by Ben the Illustrator
- Paperboy by Marshall Alexander
- Son of a Grumm by Matthijs Kamstra 😉
- Sizza by Nick Knite
Just visit flickr and see the notes on the picture, so you see who made what….
My toy is the one with the gun: I call it Son of a Grumm.
When I have my own pictures of it, I will post it here
