Why so quiet?

Just wanna give a quick update of things happening on my side. I haven't been very active on NPT lately mainly because I'm incredbily busy with a couple of things. So lots of apologies for that. I'm using Twitter lately to inform everybody of what I'm doing, so if you're interested feel free to follow me.

I'm in the middle of going more professional with my paper engineering activities, so I signed a contract with an agency that is gonna assist me with getting work. Very exciting stuff, so expe… Continue

Where's he gone on MySpace?

Some of you might have wondered where my MySpace has gone? Well, I cancelled my account :)

I have been cleaning up a lot of my social network accounts lately that were just sitting there, not really adding anything valuable to my online presence. I've noticed that almost all of my projects (paid AND free) have come from direct e-mail contact with people or through more focused communities, like NicePapertoys for example.

Updating all these social sites did cost me a lot time that I now hope to… Continue

It's Urban Papertoy Week and here's my box of surprises:

surprise 1: Here's another one-piece papertoy by yours truly, this time paying tribute to our close relatives. You can download him as usual on my website. He's a pain to build and it took me three times myself before I got him glued together satisfactory. I guess it needs a hardc… Continue

Profile Information

My Name:: Marshall Alexander

My Age:: July 8, 1970

I am a:: NiceBunny Fan, Artist, Friend, Paper Toy Fan, Paper Toy Creator

Occupation:: Graphic Designer / Illustrator

Website:: http://www.marshallalexander.net

Growing up in the seventies and eighties, my childhood memories basically consist of videogames, bright plastic toys and TV cartoons. Any time that was left I spent drawing and programming games for my Commodore 64. At a later age a few of my childhood dreams became a reality when I temporarily moved to Melbourne, where I worked as a videogame programmer, did oil-painting in a studio and had my work displayed in one of the local galleries. After a course in Graphic Design I made a career-switch and became a graphic designer/illustrator. Currently back in The Netherlands I work at a small design company and spend my spare time illustrating my childhood memories and designing papertoys. I specialize in one-piece papertoys that consist of a single flat piece of paper, which by intricate folding is transformed into a 3-dimensional model.
