Abz: I do what I can to spread the good word. I haven't been getting the time to *make* the toys I want, but I've been encouraging others to jump in.

Neurogami: Daniel's work is beautiful. He has a lot of great stuff in his online store. I'm looking at getting the Book Drive Starter Kit (Books I & II signed and numbered plus the mini print and PDF version of Book II). Good to hear you're getting out there and spreading the word about paper toys. :)

Abz: Daniel has a lot of great work.  I meet him in Phoenix a few years ago and became a fan right away.  He self-publishes, runs an on-line store, does the big (and some small) comic cons; he's a solid example of DIY and making doing what you love.  The print came with the book as part of a package deal; you'll have to look at the listings on the monster commute site to see what the options are.  There tend to be better choices earlier on during the "raise money to help get the book printed" campaign.  But you can buy prints separate from the book on his site.

Daniel runs a local illustrator group in Phoenix, AZ,   called Tiny Army.  A few months ago I gave a presentation there on papercraft, urban paper toys, and pop-up books. I'm trying to get more artists to dive in and make toys.

Not only is the paper toy cool, but I'm really diggin' the print that also comes with the book. I think I'll have to get myself a copy. :) Thanks for sharing, Neurogami.
