Little Brother camerahead papercraft from Cubeecraft

Posted by Cory Doctorow, August 12, 2008 12:21 PM | permalink

Christopher from Cubeecraft (purveyors of fine cubic papercraft people) was so impressed with the poster that Pablo Defendini made for my novel Little Brother that he whipped up this fantastic little papercraft feller based on it.

I love that Defendini poster -- and this is the second awesome thing it's inspired (the first was the Camerahead protest in Seattle against the CCTVs in public parks). It's really turning into quite a little muse for a lot of peoples' creativity. Cubeecraft: Little Brother

okay, that is pretty awesome. I'm going to have it detained in the hull with the papercraft crates from a while back http://www.boingboing.net/2008/06/30/free-papercraft-game.html

...What this needs is a companion figure, featuring one of The Replacements. That, or an updated Gumby facing off against an obvious 21st Century reimaging of a Blockhead :-P

You should flip that top image horizontally. I was so totally devastated to find out that the actual result is BACKWARDS from what's depicted up there... :'(

It reminds me of HAL 9000. We aren't going to discriminate against our AI brothers just because they have a single big eye, are we?

A nice example, too, of what makes CC licensing attractive to creators.
