Cool Kitty Papercrafts from Tubbypaws (and a cat that can use Adobe Illustrator!)

Here’s a fun little craft for you to do this weekend! These sweet 3-D illustrations are from the one and only Tubbypaws, creator of happy things, often involving cats. Now you can make your very own Internet Box Cat or Keyboard Cat. Simply download the free files, print, cut out, and assemble. There’s even a little instructional video showing you the process (if you can’t see the video below in your email, click here to watch it on the site):

Now, you may be wondering “Who is Tubbypaws?” Apparently, it’s quite a mystery. I found this Tubbypaws interview with El Interrogador that is very entertaining. The best discovery, however, is this video by Tubbypaws showing his creative process. Check this out, especially if you’re a graphic designer. This cat has complete mastery of the pen tool!

Thanks to Gaby for the find!
