Who created this paperkit?

Hi everyone,

Do you from time to time bump into an image of a great paperkit and want to know who created it? I do and it's very annoying! For those situations this thread is for so let's kick of with one I can't find for ages:

I really want to know who created this very nice looking fellar. Anyone?

Same here, every once in a while when I'm makin' my rounds along the back alleys and dead end streets on the net. I stumble upon this Hillbilly Bum. But never a download link or any other info.
And in the period when I didn't know what a bookmark was. (Digi-lliterate as I was)
I'm on the prowl tonight, so I'll keep an eye out!

The harmonica guy is "Buster" from Leo Espinosa. I've been following this little guy for close to a year and have asked Leo for a template on a few occasions but got no response till this past December. He won an award with a couple of his toys including Buster so now he will release him to the adoring masses.

Here is the original post:

and here is the most recent one dealing with the award:

The other one that one is called Davy and it is one of Shins. He modeled it after Michael Lau's Davy Figure.
