I had a wonderful opportunity to work with a great company and produce a series of giveaways for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This is one of my favorites. Using the artwork from the original Kevin Eastman TMNT comics I created this 3D relief xBox. The cover of the xBox is 3D printed then laser etched with the artwork, then using @cosclayusa I hand sculpted the turtles then painted it in the same graphic style as the comic. . . . #paulpapedesigns #cosclay #tmnt #sculpting #teenagemutantninjaturtles #giveaway https://www.instagram.com/p/CqcBh0vNgOj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I created these custom caricatures of my favorite band, the Crash Test Dummies, and was able to hand them off to them on Wednesday at their Omaha show. They are were gracious. Such a great show, great music and down to earth group. Sculpted in @cosclayusa by me, painted with acrylics with graphics created in Illustrator and printed on vinyl. . . #paulpapedesigns #cosclay #cosclayusa #caricature #polymerclay #handsculpted #handmade #custom #uniquegifts #crashtestdummies @crashtestdummiesofficial (at Paul Pape Designs) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpnDq1xOw7x/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just #finished this EVE ring box from Disney Pixar’s WallE. First time doing an EVE, although I’ve done a fair number of WallEs. Shiny white is hard!! This one comes with light up eyes, six interchangeable face plates, posable arms, a stand and a light up area for the ring. . . #paulpapedesigns #custom #commission #commissionsopen #3dprinting #ringbox #walle #pixar #pixarwalle (at Paul Pape Designs) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpc2Ro8OEtw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is a custom puzzle that I created for a client. Their request was “a 3D puzzle of a Gengar from Pokémon”. It was one of the harder designs I’ve done just because it was a puzzle. Had to print it all as one piece and hope the gaps between the pieces was enough to allow it to separate but still hold itself together once assembled. A nice challenge. . . . #paulpapedesigns #3dprinting #3dpuzzle #elegoojupiter @elegoo @sirayatech #sirayatechfast #santafornerds https://www.instagram.com/p/CpFx6G5uUlL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is the great part about my job. I made a Mii themed cake topper for a couple many years ago and they requested an updated one with their two girls included.
