Shin Tanaka’s Designer Toy Origami

Shin Tanaka’s Designer Toy Origami

By Piers Fawkes on August 17, 2006

Coolhunting has a nice spot with a report on Japanese artist and designer Shin Tanaka. After working on paper sneakers for a while, he’s moved on to apply his skills to “animé-like creatures”. CH says:”

Like his mock Air Force 1s and Bapestas, characters such as T-Boy (which was inspired by the way kids pull tees over their heads) are templates that Tanaka encourages others to construct and customize by offering them as free downloads on his website.
