It's finally here!

Urban Paper is out! At least on Amazon, those who pre-ordered are getting there copies (not officially in stores till April 21)! I've posted thing here and there about it but I thought it was time to make one complete post about the book and what you'll find inside! There are 26 papertoys from 26 designers from 10 different countries as well as interviews with each designer printed in the book, Here's the all star line-up: Maarten Janssens Kenn Munk Ben the Illustrator BigChief Design Shin Tanaka Atelier Alessio Blanco Carlo Giovani Ringo Krumbiegel Jerom Brain Castleforte Sharim Gubbles Horrorwood Sjors Trimbach Christopher Bonnette Jonny Chiba Rememberthelittleguy Mckibillo LouLou me;) Marshall Alexander Cubotoy Tetsuya Watabe Nick Knite Matthijs Kamstra Phil Bryan Rollins plus bonus toys by Bryan Green and Harlancore on the dvd! There is a forward by toysrevil's Andy Heng! The first part of the book is about the process of designing papertoys the rest is all interviews and awesome toys by the above designers. Still not sold? Okay we'll throw in a DVD-rom free with every book that includes all the templates in the book as a printable pdf, that way you don't have to cut up the book, basic shape templates to aid in designing your own toys, blank templates to customize, 33 bonus templates, video, and links. It really is an incredible book! Not because of my work but because of the insane talent of all the designers listed above. Getting to put this book together was a real thrill for a papertoy fan boy like myself! Check out this quick preview! Launch party and more fun stuff surrounding the book coming soon.

    Awesome! Congrats, Matt!

    Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! That DVD idea is a good thing! I just can't decide to keep it or give it away as a birthday present to a friend who only needs a final push to get into papercrafting. I'm an egoist, but also a manipulative bastard, so the choice is hard :)
