Sean Bell -NYC Shooting: Detectives Aquitted

I really try to keep this kind of thing to a minimum, but sometimes you gotta say something, albeit this is just my opinion. This was another debacle and failure of the justice system. I'm not sure on the correct course of actions that need to be taken, but something needs to be done. As it stands, 50 shots on the unarmed is not a crime. As Mikey Factz put it:

"the justice system is not labeling discharging 50 shots as a crime, but as a procedure. Which means that every minority walking the streets of America is liable to get pummeled by a barrage of bullets."

And that's definitely how it feels right now.

What Had Happened Was...

Okay, it's been a while. i apologize for keeping ya'll (yup, ya'll) waiting. It's been as crazy as always around these parts and i'm still working hard.

So, i have a few updates. As you can see up top, a new papertoy, and as you can see below, no download link. this particular one is an exclusive that will only appear in an upcoming papertoy book featuring some of the paper toy artists we all know and love. Unfortunately, it won't be released until next year. The good news is, there's a series of these UNITs that i'll be releasing very soon. If you collect them all... well, i'll save that for later. And don't worry, they won't be limited edition.

Which brings me to my next point. i've been getting alot emails (and i thank you all), so i figured i'd answer all of the questions i've been getting. i'm sure you noticed by now that none of the download links work. i was hosting my files on FileDen and i hadn't logged into my account for over 30 days so they washed my files away. So, in light of that, i'm taking the time out to re-work the 4 models i'd done previously and re-release them in one super PDF with 4 more, all-new models. After that, the Tubii's will be retired, but the Tubii Pack will still be available for download.

And lastly, the Jam Master Jay papertoy was taken down a while ago. At that time, i had gotten a very polite, but stern email at my old email address (that i signed into just by chance) from Shin Tanaka, stating i was in violation of his copyright. When i tested the model, i used his shoe template for Jay's shoes because it was faster, but when i released the model, i forgot to switch them with my own designs. Not a good look. It was a flub on my part, and i apologize. But, like i said, Jay WILL be in the Tubii Pack.

And, as always, the Flickr has been updated.

December Papercraft: Jam Master Jay

Run DMC "Peter Piper" [Parental Advisory]

It's been a crazy week. This semester's finals were a bit easier but still just as stressful. In the midst of the chaos, i managed to pull through with the work you've been waiting for. i decided to release them separately through the month so i could have time to build and photograph them all (that's right, i haven't even had time to actually BUILD the other 2). So here's the first of three, the late, great Jason Mizel a.k.a. Jam Master Jay.

on another note, Rest in Piece to Chad Butler a.k.a Pimp C, 1/2 of one of the greatest hip-hop groups of all time UGK and an ace producer. Thanks for all you did for Southern hip-hop.

i Have Not Forsaken Ye

This is just a small post so you guys could see what i was workin' on. i've been really busy lately. Above is a screenshot of what i'm working toward releasing in a week or so, and yes, i'm giving you all three to make up for not having anything for this month or last month.

Most of you could probably guess who these guys are (or not) and i'm thinking of maybe making a series of musicians (but that's still a BIG maybe). Let me know your thoughts on the idea AND on what you see above. It would be greatly appreciated.

i also got a camera and took some pictures of the previous models.
