i don't know what's going to happen with the UK social media ban for under 16's, but there is a very real chance it kills Fold Up Toys because i do not want to hand over my ID to some random 3rd party service to use half of the internet.
my mental health has greatly improved since i've accepted things are simply not going to get better for at least 20 years :)
i made pipefish papercrafts! :D i love them very much
we're heading towards the end of an era as i prepare to end the Fold Up Club (Patreon) after 7 years of monthly toys. i'll have a more detailed update soon soon, right now my priority is making sure anyone who signed up for an entire year gets the appropriate refund.
respond to this with what gets you out of bed in the morning 😶🌫️
forgotten Alex lore : i was on a T.V. show one time and it sucked

The Terraria paper theater I designed for @lostincult.co.uk's edition Terraria: Design works. Plus the 3 composition thumbnails I proposed. #illustration #gameart
gosh i sure do love designing toys out of stuff that melts in the rain
every time i get tipsy and share alex lore people are absolutely horrified but this is the first time someone has said "that would make an excellent zine" and idk what to do with that
share this if you want me to make more papercraft of indie games (jk i will keep doing it anyway)
i desperately need to make another Kirby toy
got a new backdrop so i can photo/video some larger playsets and it's so big that i now have to crawl over it to get in and out of the office (ignore my ironing)
We have teamed up with @folduptoys.bsky.social to make this awesome paper craft version of the Kujisama 500. As a show of appreciation to our followers and supporters, we will be giving this model sheet away for FREE! Click this link to download the model sheet. drive.google.com/file/d/1Tl6y...
i made a little fan robot to keep me cool in this heatwave it's May's reward for Fold Up Club members <3
say it with me : I am going to have a wonderful day 😚
it really does feel like any possibility i might have a normal life has been slowly taken away
saw my first AI papercrafts the other day and i think they're going to be the thing that drags me back to making videos. 🤠 i'll do a test run and see how my voice holds up, but i think it would be really interesting to do a deep dive on these designs and review them
a bunch of the incredible playsets i worked on for Player are now for sale on both the Target website. super exciting to see them getting wider availability, the pirate ship is one of the best things i've ever designed. www.target.com/b/playper/-/...
