Shag’s Exotica Pop-up page in full color, glory and true scale. It’s super hard to make, but all worth it. Just some little adjustments and I think it’s done. Almost there! For the Shag Pop-up book, a @popositionpress publication.

Working on an upcoming @poposition publication. A pop-up book about the art of Shag with stunning and beautiful illustrations. I’m honored to work on this, and as a preview I’d like to share this The Enchanted Bar scene.

Making Halloween decorations for our home. With help from Google Gemini and a laser cutter, I’ve made this within an hour and a half. It blows my mind that none of this existed 90 minutes ago. 🤯

It’s a lot of fun to make these weird over complex mechanisms. This one feels a bit like a paper machine. There’s no use for it except that I’ve enjoyed making this. And again, learned some new things!

A pop-up spider. It was a fun challenge to find a mechanism that works and animates the legs in a natural way. I personally like the aggressive position of the front legs. Tutorial and template are available on my PaperPaul YT channel.

As always, doing experiments is a lot of fun and super interesting! I’m just figuring out what’s possible to see where it brings me… With no specific goal in mind. For this transformation pop-up I’ve tried a variation on the push tab mechanism that I’ve also used for the Phoenix

How to make a pop-up dragon spit fire? Well, this is one way. A double v-fold raiser, on top of an over extended platform, with attached opening jaws. And a v-fold for the flames too. With a slightly different angle and position.

Banksy Crayon Shooter pop-up. This is for an official book publication. It’s a sad subject, and a striking message. I’ve tried to stay true to the artwork and message. Adding animation to the most prominent element.

Banksy Crayon Shooter for a @popositionpress publication. I love it when a weird solution works, and also how it’s improved while fine tuning the DIE lines for production. For more info about the publication of this book, make sure to follow Poposition press for release updates.

I’ve set a personal record (more as a challenge) for wingspan vs spread size. It’s wonky, it’s messy, but it already works! Which means that it can only get better when I give this a second try. #crafting
