Paper Custodian Updates!

Today the Paper Custodian is sharing one of the 

Greatest treasures to the papercraft...or, Paperkraft community!

See what I did, there? If not,

head over the TPC build-blog 

>HERE< 

And see what I talking about!

RUN: updates, updates, UPDATES!

Some Pretty Big Updates!

Yes!

The Neon Neuron website is again open. I made some pretty big changes to the setup, trying to streamline things for all visitors.

First thing, I put ALL papertoys on the same page. This, to help reduce clicking and confusion! Now, it's all scrolling. I have also added an ARTWORK section, replacing the gallery. This page is images I post to my Tumblr, trying to create synergy amongst the social media.

I have some things in the works, new art, new toys and, I'll continue adjusting and updating as time permits. So, check back from time to time to see what's new. And if you like what you see, feel free to donate to help a little with the Neon Neuron Project. The link is located on the CONTACT page.

Thanks!

Updates: New Looks for the Blogs!

Revising the Neuroniverse, I did a little work to the Neon Neuron Blog and the Paper Custodian. If you see the difference:

Yeah, I changed the titles. I think they look a bit cleaner, now.

Still working on the main site, hoping to streamline it, further. The older site had too many pages, which meant, too many clicks. And, too many clicks gets boring, and a bit redundant. Am I right?

I encourage you to head over to the Paper Custodian blog to see the latest builds and our newest feature, Paper Custodian Shares! This week he's sharing the papertoy book URBAN PAPER. It's a good book to start your paper crafting adventures.

I'll get the main site back online soon, with a new toy debut!

So, hang on to yer' lug nuts, it's time fer an overhaul!

We've got a new build on The Paper Custodian Build Blog!
This was a pretty easy craft to put together, but the final look is pleasing to the eye.
The instructions are a bit hard to follow, but if you've spent a lot of time with the craft, then it should be second nature.
Or, you could always follow along HERE>

A New Mercurial Smile Comic!

A New Challenge has Appeared! 

I've been working on another paper toy design and just when I thought I was ready to go live with it...

This happens...

I thought the calibration between my printer, screen and Illustrator were good. Not perfect, but, good.  Until today, when I went to print and this happened. 

All three colors were off. 

This is a little frustrating when you're trying to get something right before you send it out to the public, and you have an idea in your head of what it is you want. 

The worst part now, after discovering this, is trying to figure out how this is affecting all my work. 

I had to mess with the settings in Illustrator and with my printer to get these three different color schemes. The thing is, I want the paper crafting experience to be as simple as possible. I shouldn't, nor do I want to explain to the crafter how to adjust their color or print settings because of a mistake on my end. 

Grrr!

Live an keep learning!
