Nice Paper Toys

The Papertoy Network!


On a whim, I entered "The Dears", a papertoy collaboration I did with Ben the Illustrator, into this year's American Illustration, and it got in(!?!). Onto the website, not the book itself, but still I'm quite pleased. Apparently (from the email they sent out), "it was one of only 583 images from a record-breaking 8,100 submitted" to make the cut.

Woot!

I say next year, everyone here submit and we can take the thing by storm!

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I really think it's time to get some wider recognition for all the great work everyone here is doing.

Marshall, actually I just worked off Ben's template for "The Dears". Ben did his own set of the two characters for a pair called "Treehouse Pals". You can check them out under the "Special Blends" section at my site: http://www.nanibird.com

A major accomplishment. You make all of us proud by crossing the boundary from the world of paper toys to the world of illustration. We know there is no difference, but it is a wonderful thing that you have gotten "them" to realize it too. Congrats to you both.

What a pleasure to see this caliber of collaboration and art. This is just solid work, all the way around. Congratulations! ( and not a bad idea about seeing what other exposure outlets our "hobby" can explore...)
