2010 Halloween Paper Toys - The Evil Dead!

To celebrate Halloween this year, I've created a few new toys dedicated to one my favorite horror series, The Evil Dead. The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II and Army of Darkness are cult classics and fun to watch if you're into horror and horror comedy. Available for download are Linda, Cheryl and Ash. Also included are a few cool accessories. So, if you'd like to add a couple of possessed women and a chainsaw wielding bad ass to your Halloween paper toy collection, head over to OH-SHEET and download the templates. Happy Halloween!

New IMPS, MechaBunny and Sizza Customs!

Hey Gang! I've been working on a few new customs for some of my favorite paper toy artists and I'm excited to finally share them with all of you.



First we have The Gloom Crew, comprised of the three little monsters you see above. These are customs of the IMPS paper toy created by my friend Jason Harlan aka Harlancore. Download The Gloom Crew here and be sure to visit Harlancore.com to download the original Boxpunx Series Nine IMPS and other great Boxpunx.

The next few customs were for another one of my friends, Nick Knite, creator of the Sizza and MechaBunny paper toys.







You'll notice these three customs have something in common, they are all black and white. The theme for these is “Schwarz Auf Weiss" - “Style Needs No Color" and they'll be exhibited at BLOOOM - The Creative Industries Art Show from October 28th to November 1, 2010 at Staatenhaus am Rheinpark, Cologne. Visit blooom.de for more info. If you live in or near the area, please check it out.

Until next time... happy building.
