Kuwait Paper Dump have released a twitter bot (@KPDBot) with some pretty cool features. The bot currently only understands two commands which are basically all you’ll ever need from a restaurant. You can either tell the bot to give you the phone number of a restaurant or to send you a PDF file of their menu. I tried both and they worked with no problems.
*Note: The bot does not work with private twitter accounts
To promote the new Audi A7 artist Taras Lesko designed the care solely using paper. He used 285 papers making 750 parts in total. The video shows how much effort was put into making the car and it was much more than I expected. He was able to pull it off with just a laser printer, some glue and of course lots of paper. I think he deserves a free A7 for the 245 hours put in the project.[Source]
I wouldn’t have thought pencil drawing over an image would look this good. It’s a combination of what you expect on the background and what you did not expect on the foreground. He actually came up with the idea while watching tv and writing a letter.
I was watching television and writing a letter at the same time a few weeks ago. Reading my letter before putting it in the envelope, I saw in transparency the television behind the paper. I then realize it would be great to make something similar in a single image showing 2 different actions.
Here are my favourites.[Source]
I’m assuming this website has been on the net for a while. But I just stepped foot on it and found it helpful. The site basically takes all the promotion papers that are usually dumped and uploads them. I can come up with 2 reasons how this site can help anyone.
In some situations, we throw away a promotion paper then start regretting it. Either because you told a friend about it and he wants the promo or you forgot to get the phone number.
Another reason would be to stay upto date with all the discounts and promotions happening in Kuwait. Specially when you hear about a great promotion but can’t seem to find it anywhere.[Website]
I wrote a post before about the art of paper and it was pretty good. Apparently nothing near how good this is. Jeff Nishinaka is a paper sculptor that has mastered the art of 3 dimensional paper. His been doing this for 28 years but to my surprise Nishinaka began working on paper by accident. He has always wanted to be a painter but had an assignment that dealt with designing paper. I love the way he describes paper.
Paper to me is a living breathing thing that has a life of its own. I just try to redirect that energy into something that feels animated and alive
I wouldn’t disagree with paper being a living breathing thing after seeing this. Here are some of my favorites.
The concept sounds great. It will take the paper you don’t want and reform it into a pencil when you add the lead, glue and power. To sharpen it has a sharpener on the side. This concept has won China’s Lite-On award. Which awards eco-friendly concepts. The device will scroll your paper and make a pencil stick, it will not recreate wood for you. Designed by Chinese natives Chengzhu Ruan, Yuanyuan Liu, Xinwei Yuan and Chao Chen.[Source]
I’ve seen people do some pretty amazing stuff with paper. But to build the US capital building solely with paper, that’s way more impressive than anything i’ve come near. Jill Sylvia has even built the White House. I thought making a paper plane was amazing back in high school, I was so wrong. You can check her website and see more structures she has built within the years. Sadly, no information on how long it took each one to build was available.[Website]
