Custom Paper Toys. Papertoys. TRE got down and bugged Gareth Lancaster aka MOOPF [www/DeviantArt] about his papertoy named BERTIE. ), READ THRU about the genesis of his first papertoy creation :) (And if you must know, I'd gotten wind of Gareth's creation via his Twitter) TOYSREVIL: How was Bertie created? What led to it's creation? MOOPF: Bertie really came about through just wanting to try my hand at paper toys, and deciding on something fairly simply in construction as a first attempt, but something that would hopefully create some interest from other artists who could see potential for customising it.
I'm somebody who's always trying new mediums, for the challenge as much as anything. MOOPF: In terms of the way Bertie looks, it takes a lot of cues from a character style that I've been working on for a few months now, centering around a character called Arthur, who you'll see in my deviantArt gallery mainly as a spaceman (hence the cut out front on Bertie), with fairly short legs and long arms. TOYSREVIL: Cool! Lampions falten @creadoo -Kreativität 2.0! Rememberthelittleguy & Toypaper - Doodles, Interactive Design an. Once upon a time there was an afternoon project that turned into a weekend project that turned into a website that turned into Toypaper. All that adds up to a HUGE amount of time spent cutting and gluing paper - far too much time if I am honest so it's time to put the cap back on the glue for a while.
If you are reading this expecting to find papertoys then don't worry, I have put them all at the bottom this page just for you. I have met some lovely people from around the world, painted a 12ft concrete monster in Manchester and received lots of interesting emails, some of which I have had no other choice but to ask Google to translate for me. My toys have been included in books (with real ISBN numbers), the first of which was Urban Paper, the second was called We are Paper Toys and the latest goes by the name Papertoy Monsters.
So for the near future there won't be any new updates and the mailing list has been safely deleted. The Free Recyclable Personal Organizer.
