The Cubeecraft body of work is a paper based “installation” functioning as an interactive community project; self coined “Cubeecraft”. “Cubee”, pronounced “kyoob-ee”, takes “cube”, the geometric form underlying each design, and adds “ee” to denote the cutification and miniaturization of each subject. “Craft” describes the handmade approach to my premise and its relation to the ancient and modern practices of paper-craft generally.

The subject matter of each Cubee is heavily grounded in the subset of pop culture sometimes referred to as “geek culture”; each piece personifying concepts spanning from classical literature to the newest video game. Originally inspired by commercial package design, I fine tuned the Cubees structure for over a year in advance of launching it to the public. Cubees are meant to be quick and user friendly.

Download-able and easy to assemble, the Cubees are an internationally shared project. Popular in Brazil, sold (without permission or commission) on the streets in Thailand, used in classrooms in Japan and in American Ikea displays, “Cubeecraft” appeals to a visceral need to build, and a cultural need to represent our ideas in abbreviated fashion.

Cubeecraft are FREE to download. Each toy features interlocking tabs for construction – eliminating the need for tape, glue or other messy adhesives. Each toy is designed to be printed on a standard piece of 8 1/2 X 11 A4 letter paper. Simply print, cut and fold your model into a cute and fun paper toy!

  Paper Foldables has a lot of good stuff on there. The Kid Niki series, Atari business card holder, Krang...

  The empire lost because those tree dodgers couldn't take care of a few care bears.
  
  On the other hand the if the sandtroopers weren't so weak they might not have lost the first death star by actually intercepting R2 in Mos Eisley.

  I have to agree - I have all of the other Gurren Lagann Revoltech (except Enkidudu) and I feel like if I end up with this one it's only because of the completionist in me - not because I think it's particularly awesome.
  
  Don't get me wrong, it's a nice piece - but there are a few Gurren-types that were in the series so briefly that I feel no attachment to them and in some way I feel they only exist to milk the property for toys.
