This is a year-long project whereby the artist will be designing, constructing and posting a new paper toy from a basic template each day for one year. So there’ll be 365 toys at the end of the 365th day.
Since this is a personal project started out of love, Joe will not be selling the toys (in case anyone asks). However, depending on how things go, he might auction off the complete collection at the end of the project, with the proceeds going to charity.
If there is any character you want to see at his blog site, feel free to leave a comment and he’ll do his best to do it!

You can also download the PDF file of the toys too if you want to make them! http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5923324
