Paper Model Art Craft People Embrace Batman & Comic Book Heroes


While writing this blog for way over a year ( see the Archives ) I have discovered that there are many Subcultures that have completely embraced Batman. Some examples are the "Cosplay People". They make props & costumes that are wayyy better than anything Hollywood makes, ha ha. There's the "Custom Toy People". Their hobby is to take discarded dolls & action figures and customize them to look like comic book characters that major toy companies have NEVER made a figure of. I could go on & on but every one of these people are quite creative & it's really cool! A new group of people I have come across lately are the "Paper Model Crafters". These people are sort of like the Custom Toy people except they make their art totally out of construction paper. Up above is a small example. Here's an extremely cool Batman "Action Figure" made from paper. The attention to details are nice & when you see figure after figure after figure they sort of start to really have a lot of appeal. I mean, they're quite clever & are a new interesting art form. I'll be doing other posts about this in the future. The guy who did this one said he's working on a Robin, The Boy Wonder figure. I think he's done a Joker but I couldn't get a clear picture of it. If there are ANY readers who are crafters & would like to have their ART showcased then please send us some photos & information, Thanks.
