We’re now about a week past DesignerCon and I’ve caught up on lots of lost sleep! My art made it into LA Weekly’s cover of the event! Thanks for the shoutout! I love that we were described as “makers of appealing do-it-yourself affordable paper art sculptures!” That was a mouthful 😀 but you know what, I’ve been growing this business and carefully streamlining it along the way to make it appealing, accessible, consumable, and yes affordable. It’s been hard to get to a place where I can hit on all those points but I’m there now and it’s great seeing my MULTIPLANES go out to so many people! Thanks for following and sharing it with others.
Thanks @laweekly for seeing us! -Jacob

How to Assemble a Multiplanes Product
Here’s a quick short video on how to assemble the “Happy Haunts” Diorama. This diorama features a multilayered scene of Disneyland’s classic attraction, the Haunted Mansion. All other Multiplanes assemble this way as well. Enjoy and pick one up today!
My latest creation, the African Queen Jungle Cruise Inspired Boat!
The African Queen is finally alive after spending a few months developing it. Well actually, It was originally planned as a whole Jungle Cruise scene with the boat in the river. After spending a few weeks playing with different designs, it dawned on me that the real jewel of that ride isn't any of the scenes you experience but actually the ride vehicle itself. This propelled me to pause the scene design and put my focus on the boat itself.
Every time I visit Disneyland, I always stop into the shops to check out if there's any new "high end" merchandise for that attraction and I'm always left disappointed. I think they should have nice collectibles of every attraction vehicle.
These are the machines that float us into lands of excitement and wonder kind of like the scene in Willy Wonka where they go on the boat ride or the Wonka mobile. If the journey is the destination, then these attraction vehicles are the transformative and memorable catalysts that keep propelling us forward. Every time we ride into these attractions, we go with those close to us such as friends, lovers, and family. We’re all experiencing the same thing in a small enclosed vessel. Even with strangers, it’s fun and memorable.
So this is why I developed the African Queen, simply because I wanted one and now you can have one as well.
Now onto the next project!
