Mr. Sanpo

Yup, it's not a NaniBird...... Presenting Mr. Sanpo AKA Sir Sanpsalot AKA Sanpo-san AKA He Who Walks. He originally made his debut at the Tokyo Urban Paper show, but it's just taken me a while to post him. It's a double-sided design with posable arms so I think it will also lend itself well to customizing. You can download the full version here and the blank template, ready for custom work here. If you DO customize him, please let me know as I'd love to post the results here!

For now this design won't be part of the Batch releases and will instead find a permanent home in the Special Blends. But who knows? If I get enough customized versions back, then this little guy will get his own Batch releases. Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

      

The Most Awesome NaniBird. EVER.

"I am a huge fan of Nanibirds. I have been with the site since the first four were released. I wanted to send you a picture from my b-day. My stepmother made me the best cake ever and I thought you would want to see it.


Your friend,
Ian"

Ian, you are now officially my number one fan.
And you've got one very cool stepmom. You can check out more of her work on her deviantART site.


This so made my day when it arrived in my inbox. 


Just wow.
 
Update: Apparently Ian has his own devianART site as well. Go check it out!

World's Best Dad

Originally done for the Tokyo Urban Paper Show, "World's Best Dad" is an expansion on my "NaniDad and the Peeps" set which is still available on my Etsy site. I've been meaning to post this ever since the show closed back in September, but this is the first chance I've had to get it together. I'm hoping to post something else from the show soon, a new character I created for the show. And *gasp*, it's NOT a NaniBird.... who knows how long it will take me to get that guy up...

But in the meanwhile you can get "World's Best Dad" right here.
      

Tweet? Tweet? Is this thing on?

I'm twittering now, you can follow me here or just search for "mckibillo". Now what I REALLY need to do is make a custom Twitter NaniBird.....

I'm Not Zebra

Here's another design that I really should have posted a while ago... sorry about that Zakane. Zakane is the creator behind this busy little bird and you can find more of his papertoys at JUSTUS. To get "Not a Zebra" click here.

Exotic Birds

OK, I've been swamped with work lately and slow to post anything new for a while, but these custom NaniBirds have really been a long time coming... I got them months ago and now is the first chance I've had to post them. Apologies to their creator, The Daydream Kid (or for those in the know T.D.D.K.), but now here they are and they are indeed pretty radical customs. I love how he's taken the idea of the bird and just pushed into new species. The pelican above is a great new addition to the genus.

And this stork is a pretty cool birth announcement idea. Both these ideas definitely lend themselves to further customization.

You can get the pelican here and the stork here.

II LOVE #3... get it now!

Run, don't walk and get yourself the latest issue from YEBOMAYCU. With interviews from Shin Tanaka, Nick Knite, Dolly Oblong and Harlancore and exclusive toys from Harlancore, Alexander Gwynne, Zerolabor and Nick Knite, it's absolutely not to be missed.

Some great, great work in there. And (of course) it's all free!!!

Roar!

The latest custom comes to us from Damien AKA DMC , a 15 year old wunderkind from out of Western Australia. Roar is actually a variation of a custom job Damien did for the French magazine Be Street, which I think is a pretty awesome "get" for anyone. Besides Damien's blog, be sure to also check out his flickr page to check out the line of Hoody paper toys he's developed. Really awesome stuff. And to get your very own copy of Roar...  just click right here.

Giant NaniBird, Slightly Used

Anyone care to give this big fellow a home? I built him for the Tokyo Urban Paper show, but now he's too big to comfortably live in our house. So he's free for the taking. If you're anywhere near Chigasaki (a suburb of Tokyo, on the Tokaido line) in the next few days, swing on by and save this guy from the trash heap.

Won't you call today?

JibJib!

So the Tokyo Urban Paper show opened and it was a lot of fun (and if you get to Tokyo before the 20th you still have time to check it out) and after it closes I'll have a few more new designs of my own to post. But in the meanwhile, great NaniBird designs are still coming in. The latest is "JibJib" from  TIKKYWOW. I don't really know that much about this designer, except that he's from Bangkok and his work is truly outstanding! Check out his site to see all his amazing street art, stickers and T-shirt designs. The guy is really talented! And to get your own "JibJib" to make, click here.
