His name is Captain Cutup. I went through a few names; Capt. Cuthbert (turns out he's a real person), Capt. Cut Throat (too violent). But with the help of my wife Jane we came up with Cutup. Jane also wrote some great poetry for me, which I changed around (can you say control freak). What took the most time was the sword arm. I had to work to get it to rotate so the sword would not rub on the hat. Here's a pic of the pirate debris.<br />

The shape of the pirate hat on the little flippy body really turned me on. The idea came from a sketch I did. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/TPxENj5c1lI/AAAAAAAAADQ/DA7tUkslnW0/s1600/FF+Blog+Images+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/TPxENj5c1lI/AAAAAAAAADQ/DA7tUkslnW0/s320/FF+Blog+Images+11.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Well I was happily working away and suddenly it was October. I thought, hey I have a cool idea for a ghost. So, putting the pirate aside. I started to work on a ghost for Halloween. But as it got closer to Halloween it became clear that I could not finish the design and the layout in time. So I put the ghost design aside.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/TPxFeCWV61I/AAAAAAAAADU/tkReSt1kq1s/s1600/FF+Blog+Images+13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/TPxFeCWV61I/AAAAAAAAADU/tkReSt1kq1s/s320/FF+Blog+Images+13.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Rather than starting a turkey for Thanksgiving I began working on a Reindeer for the holidays. Here is an early version. The sketch that inspired it looked very funny, but the horns did not look so good after making them.<br />
<br />

You probably know that if you are reading this. But I made a big mistake. The web site is flippyfaces.net but on all the layouts for the two gorillas it says .com. :{(<br />
<br />
But I solved this by buying the .com name.

I already had the name FippyFaces. Thanks Bill.<br />

I still need to put in the flying saucers.<br />
<br />
<br />
So now the site is up and ready to go. I have two free papercrafts and plans to make more.<br />
Please take a moment to look...<br />

You could put one one your desk and turn the face to represent your mood. If the ape has a happy face, come on by. If he's <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">frowning</span>, look out.<br />Working on the new <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">paper craft</span> idea, I kept thinking about a gorilla. How to make the belly and how to make long ape arms. I wanted to give them a pink butt and have a face with a small mouth going "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ook</span>". As I was working on the gorilla concept and looking around the web, I noticed that there are a lot of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">paper crafts</span> of monkeys and apes. Funny. I guess we just love the little guys. So I feel right at home making another ape <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">paper craft</span>.<br />Here are some early designs.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_gm0t04wDI/AAAAAAAAABk/aXKguQPXnYc/s1600/FF+Blog+Images+02.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_gm0t04wDI/AAAAAAAAABk/aXKguQPXnYc/s320/FF+Blog+Images+02.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474168034165309490" border="0" /></a><br /><br />While working on Gary - that's the name of the first brown gorilla. My friend Bill came over and wanted to "see my new flippy faces." And the name was born. My <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">friend</span> Bill is a very creative guy. I wouldn't know half as much about the computer without him. So I had a concept and a name, and I was off.<br />I started with a brown gorilla - Gary. But I realized gorillas are more black than brown so I made a new colorway with a blue/gray gorilla - Gilbert.<br />Here are the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">first</span> colored gorillas.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_gqgJaxFEI/AAAAAAAAABs/UD8KktGDoRQ/s1600/FF+Blog+Images+03.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_gqgJaxFEI/AAAAAAAAABs/UD8KktGDoRQ/s320/FF+Blog+Images+03.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5474172078841205826" border="0" /></a><img src="file:///G:/Graphic%20Design/Paper%20Craft/Flippy%20Faces/FF%20Blog%20Images%2005.jpg" alt="" /><br /><br />More to come...Titus Willoughby Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315916605801866179noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4993693473350696814.post-67921265829525791682010-05-18T11:26:00.000-07:002010-05-18T12:42:51.563-07:00Opening of the Flippy Faces Blog<span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" >Welcome dear friends,</span> <br /><span style="font-family: arial;font-family:arial;" >I'm Titus Woods.

I showed some of the things I was fooling around with to my friend Bill. He showed me a web site with origami and papercraft, 4chan.org. After looking at the papercraft I was hooked. I did a few models and started working on some of my own designs. About a year or two later I found a book on Amazon, </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: arial;">Urban Paper</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> by Matt Hawkins, for under a dollar. The shipping cost more than the book. The book is great! Very inspiring. While sketching in my book I came up with an idea. Make a paper figure with changeable faces by making it two pieces. The body underneath would have the different faces on it and the top piece has a hole on one side so you can see one of the faces. The pic is of the first flippy face.<br /><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_LtB6kESsI/AAAAAAAAAA4/txHDex70Y5U/s1600/First+FF.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hx6u8lGFAzI/S_LtB6kESsI/AAAAAAAAAA4/txHDex70Y5U/s320/First+FF.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5472697114364758722" border="0" /></a><br />more to come...Titus Willoughby Woodshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315916605801866179noreply@blogger.com0
