Calling All Cars! - Calling All Customizers

For those that don't already know me, my name is Jack Hankins and I create papercraft and illustrations under the name Horrorwood.

In celebration of the imminent launch of Matt Hawkins' book "Urban Paper", I have started a new customization project.
I have named the project "Calling All Cars" and am at present recruiting artists to customize my paper toy "Go Bananas" that will be featured in the book.

The project is open to all comers - the more the merrier! When I have enough designs I will make them available for free download on my site.
There is also the possibility of a real world exhibition featuring the designs in the future.

More details can be found here, along with the PDF template for the toy:

I know that you are all very busy, but if you have the time it would be great to get your customs.

If you need any more details or would like to discuss the project with me feel free to send me a message.

cool, perhaps I can recycle some stuff, so I don't put to much pressure on my broken wrist

Recycling is no problem of course (though I like to call it remixing :))
I think it is a cool idea to try to fit an existing design or character into a new template.

I can't imagine trying to do anything with a broken wrist - hope it fixes up soon.

Matthijs. Project is going great thanks. I now have enough designs to release for download. I apologise for the lack of communication and info, but I have been a little busy.
I just blogged about your car by the way:

Will post here again when the first wave of cars drops.
