Papercraft Designer Profile : Imam Sujugo

Zoids Command Wolf was his first design in papercraft. Please meet Imam Sujugo or also known as ichigo190 in our forum. He made this design because the plastic model kit of Command Wolf was too expensive. Still searching for new tricks in designing papercraft, because he became a papercraft designer under one year studies. Single at the age of 27, he already spread this papercraft virus to his big brother and cousin. His education background is an Associate Degree and once again I don't know from which major.

Paper Replika and Salazad on Republika

On March 13th 2010, Paper Replika (PR) and Salazad got almost 1 page article in Republika. For your information Republika is one of recognizable daily newspaper in Indonesia. In this article they shared their knowledge and experience on papercraft. I'm also glad while reading this article that finally Salazad tell the media about copyright in papercraft, it's very important. Although most of our models are free but you can not use it for commercial purpose without an agreement from the designer.

Salazad also got a little surprise that ARTi magazine in Edisi 025 Year II/March 2010 wrote about papercraft as another form of paper art. For your information ARTi magazine it's been long acknowledged by people as one of the leading art magazine. I'm glad that people also appreciate this as an art not only as a hobby.
