Art Friday : Shin Tanaka’s Spiky Baby Series 08
A gentle reminder to all collectors of Shin Tanaka’s Spiky Baby papercraft that Series 08 is available for download as of today.

As avid collectors of Shin’s paper toys already know, the downloads are completely blind-boxed which means you don’t get to choose which Spiky Baby to download.
After clicking for around 45 minutes, I collected a total of 16 designs for Series 08. 9 have custom graphic designs on them and 7 are adorned with a specific letter from the words SPIKY BABY. The Series 08 box is also one of the possible choices so you end up with a total of 17 PDFs (assuming there are no secret Spiky Babies in this series.
If I have to choose my favourite among the nine custom Spiky Babies, the Sluglife version would be my absolute favourite. The Fingerprints design is a close runner-up

If you’re a aspiring graphic designer/illustrator, you can add your creative touches to the blank templates for Spiky Baby or the newer Mask Hoody and submit them to Shin. Who knows, maybe you’ll be selected and featured in Series 09 
More details on that here.
If you can’t find the blank Mask Hoody template, I have downloaded a copy from Series 03 which you can download here but for the Spiky Baby, you will have to contact Shin directly.
