Sharim Gubbels over at Singapore-based Crossville Toys just posted a bunch of new Ghostboy platform papertoys customized by Jon Burgerman, Easy Hey, Delkographic and KOA (joining the roster that includes TADO and sketchBot). Not sure these are downloadable, as is the case with many a papertoy, but the blog mentions an upcoming show. I also found an interview with Sharim here in which he explains Crossville as:
Crossville and it’s name came to be because of two main reasons. One, it would provide a perfect place for me to crossover from 2D to 3D, as well as a fun place to crossover with other artists - something I enjoy a lot and is always an extra incentive to keep going. The other being that I didn’t want to randomly create toys, so I decided on having all my creations be a part of this one contained world - from it’s inhabitants to their vehicles and mechs or even foliage. It adds an extra dimension to the creation process which keeps it interesting to me and it’s fun to see the world expanding over time.
Keep tabs on Crossville projects on his MySpace page. If you know more about Ghostboy or how to get these, please email me or leave a note in the Comments.
