A breakthrough paper-folding book for kids-paper airplane meet origami meets Pokemon. Papertoys, the Internet phenomenon thats hot among graphic designers & illustrators around the world, now comes to kids in the coolest new book. Created by Brian Castleforte, a graphic designer & papertoy pioneer who rounded up 25 of the hottest papertoy designers fro around the world (Indonesia, Japan, Australia, Italy, Croatia, Chile, etc). PAPERTOY MONSTERS offers 50 fiendishly original die-cut designs that are ready to pop out, fold, & glue. The book interleaves card stock with paper stock for a unique craft package; the graphics are colourful & hip, combing the edginess of anime with the goofy fun of Uglydolls & other collectibles. Plus each character comes with its own back-story. The results are delicious: meet Pharaoh Thoth Amon, who once ruled Egypt but is now a mummy who practices dark magic in his sarcophagus. Or Zumbie the Zombie, who loves nothing more than a nice plate of brains & yams. Not So Scary, a little monster so useless at frightening people that he has to wear a scary mask. Yucky Chuck, the lunchbox creature born in the deepest depths of your school bag. Plus Zeke, the monster under your bed, Nom Nom, eater of cities, & Grumpy Gramps, the hairy grandpa monster with his very own moustache collection.
