JapanC is proud to introduce the JapanC paper toy monsters created for us by Shin Tanaka. In addition to T-BOY (pictured above), currently on display at the Felissimo Design House, Shin has created the JapanC SPIKY BABY for you to download and enjoy.
Shin Tanaka is a Japanese artist, graffiti writer, paper toy creator, designer who has worked with some of the biggest names in street fashion and designer toys. Born in Fukuoka, Japan in 1980, Tanaka's claim to fame is a vast range of elaborate paper constructions ranging from adorably hip and colorful toy monsters, to spot on replicas of cutting edge footwear. His collaborations with Nike, Adidas, and Reebok have resulted in scores of gallery showcases throughout the world. Shin Tanaka's playful and fun designs are appealing for creative youngsters as much as they are for the most hardened and cynical hipster. His popular T-BOY model was created as a new surface for his graffiti pieces.
