Matt Hawkins of Custom Paper Toys displays paper toys: his own designs, commissions, and his collaborations with other artists. He regularly publishes a new Toy of the Month, offering free instructions by pdf download. All his toys are done in a colourful cartoon style, with exaggerated features and somewhat manic expressions. The model construction ranges from simple to fairly complex, so will suit a range of people. (If you're new to putting together paper toys, Hawkins recommends that you start with one of the easier models such as Uncle Bam, pictured above right.) Hawkins, a cartoonist, shows more of his work on his Flickr page, including other people's photographs of his pieces, as well as his personal collection of toys.
