Kirigami Animals review video

I came across this You Tube video someone posted reviewing my Kirigami Animal kit.

I appreciate that this boy did a really good job making the animals following the instructions. Here is the link.

Photo Shoot at Lark Books

Earlier last month, I drove down to Asheville, North Carolina for a photo shoot for my upcoming paper craft book, "Paper Pups". I spent 2 days at my publisher Lark Books assisting the photo shoot as a project stylist. During the shoot, I snapped a few pictures.

This book is all about dogs with 40 different breeds I designed in it. It will have photographs, step-by-step instructions on how to build them and their templates, much like my last book "Kirigami Menagerie". This book is coming out in the fall of 2013. I can hardly wait.

While I was in Asheville, I got together with friends of mine Tamie Beldue, Shane Snider and their son Silas who live in Black Mountain, NC.

Tamie teaches drawing and printmaking at UNC, Shane exhibits his beautiful sculptures at Gallery Minerva in Asheville and designs furniture. It's been a few years since they moved from OH to NC, so it was really nice to see that they were doing very well.

Kirigami Animal kit available!

My publisher Sterling recently released a new edition of Kirigami Animal kit based on my book Kirigami Menagerie. It is an exclusive edition only sold at Barnes and Noble book stores and their online store. Here is the link. This kit includes the book Kirigami Menagerie, pre-cut templates of all 38 animals and one almost completed giraffe. For some strange reason the price of the kit is less than the price of the book...
