We’ve featured some pretty neat foldable designers before, but today’s artist should be considered a leader within this growing field. Marshall Alexander’s obviously been busy growing his repertoire of downloadable goodies, and the end result is truly worth a look see. Whether you’re a fan of paper toys, or his new set of foldschool heroes, I doubt you’ll go away unimpressed, or within the urge to try ‘em out. How hard can it be.
On his site, Marshall states: “growing up in the seventies and eighties, my childhood memories basically consist of videogames, bright plastic toys and TV cartoons. Any time that was left I spent drawing and programming games for my Commodore 64. At a later age a few of my childhood dreams became a reality when I temporarily moved to Melbourne, where I worked as a videogame programmer, did oil-painting in a studio and had my work displayed in one of the local galleries. After a course in Graphic Design I made a career-switch and became a graphic designer/illustrator. Currently back in The Netherlands I work at a small design company and spend my spare time illustrating my childhood memories and designing papertoys.” He’s livin’ the dream.
