The Papertoy Network!

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

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.
