The Papertoy Network!

My gift to urban paper toys: Papercraftx.com is open!

Hi guys,
I've been working on this secret little website for quite some time, and it's finally done!

Presenting, my gift to all you awesome artists - a site that showcases ALL the urban paper toys in the world, all in one place.

I have been searching around the net and I realised that urban paper toys were all over the place, and there was no one single comprehensive website that covers everything.

So, I took the initiative to come up with a proper webpage to document all of the urban paper toys in a easy format for people to browse through, so that they can easily find toys and discover new ones. All toys are linked back to you guys' websites, once to the template and the other to the main site of your art site.

The list is not yet complete, as I discovered through this community, but I will continue to update it.

I hope you all don't mind the ads, I have to cover the cost of buying the domain.

It's at http://www.papercraftx.com - if you have any toys or links you want to put up, just leave a message.

Regards,
Jun

Comment by Matthijs Kamstra aka [mck] on February 7, 2008 at 2:05am: I don't know how to geotag, but I like the idea of knowing where people are from.

Comment by Castleforte on February 6, 2008 at 9:23pm: Nice! Very nice! I'm so happy to see a site like that. Well done. Oh, and thanks for the links!

Comment by Jerom on February 6, 2008 at 7:27pm: hmm I don't know at all!
It was just a crazy idea

Comment by Sonicscape Jun on February 6, 2008 at 5:26pm: hmm how to I geotag?

Comment by Jerom on February 6, 2008 at 1:11pm: Great idea!
Could you geotag the artists you describe on a map? It's a bit useless, but after all, I think it could be cool.

Comment by Sonicscape Jun on February 6, 2008 at 12:52pm: I thought it wouldnt be polite to link directly to the PDFs without the visitors checking out the site of the artist.

So as far as I could, I linked it to a page that had the PDF on it.

I also provided a link to the main page of the artist, to be doubly sure the visitor won't miss out on the artist's page:)

Comment by Matthijs Kamstra aka [mck] on February 6, 2008 at 12:34pm: I saw a cool name in Google analytics: "papercraftx" and tried the link to it. :)

I like it, it's a cool collection of papertoy models. The only comment I have, is the direct linking to the models (.PDF or otherwise). That way people never visit the site of the designer (and that's the reason why it's not possible to link directly to the files on my site). But other designers don't see that as a problem so why shouldn't you link to the files directly...
