It's dead Jim

This site for A.G papertoys has stopped updating, this is because there will be a new site launched in the near future. This site will have regular (hopefully daily) updates on projects as well as regular toy releases and news on upcoming toys, products, book and exhibitions. We thank you for baring with us during this awkward transition between websites. A press release will be sent out as soon as a date is decided for the launch of the new website. In the mean time feel free to contact us if you have any inquiries.

The detail void.

I usually do the majority of my design work between 1 and 3 in the morning, it means I am tired enough that I don’t obsess over details and get stuck in the “detail void” but I’m still awake enough to get the measurements right. However I can’t design toys at the moment meaning I’ve had to find something else to fill this time, so I’ve been doing a lot research into art and religion etc etc instead.
I finally think I know where I stand on most of the issues facing artists today.

(wondering what I meant by the “detail void”? If I add to much detail to a toy I find that the detail makes the shape look simplistic, so I either have to make the shape more detailed and make it more of a papercraft than a papertoy or make the graphics simpler. The void is when I get stuck between it looking to realistic and to cartoony. I have to pick one style or another, mixing the two doesn’t work.)
