I'm a graphic designer, paper artist and urban sketcher with a passion for movies, videogames, bright plastic toys, retro design and pop-culture in general. I create paper models under my artist name Marshall Alexander. I have done commercial work for the toy industry, promotional purposes, books, magazines and more. My work has been featured in several gallery shows around the world and I've created paper installations at a couple of shows as well. |

STAR WARS FANBOY - I’m a huge Star Wars fan (and avid supporter of the original trilogy without all the ‘special edition’ tinkering). So why did it take so long for me to do a paper model inspired by the Star Wars universum. Well, probably because it has already been done to death and I felt I could not contribute anything fresh to huge amount of fan art already out there. So instead of doing my interpretation of a Star Wars character I chose do to my interpretation of a Star Wars fan boy going to the premiere of Star Wars 3D (that’s why he wears those glasses). This one obviously couldn’t chose between Han, Leia and Chewie so incorporated elements of all three characters in his costume. The model itself was sort of an experiment for me, being the first model I created from colored paper instead of printing out an illustrator template. The model was created as my entry for the Planet Pulp Star Wars themed show.

INDIANA JONES - One of the first films for ‘grown-ups’ that I saw when I was young was Raiders of the Lost Ark and it made a huge impression on me. The ‘melting face’ scene got stuck in my head for a couple of weeks after viewing. This movie wasn’t like anything I had seen before. So it was a joy to find out Planet Pulp was doing an Indiana Jones theme for their February 2012 show and I could pay tribute to one of the films that turned me into a movie geek.

MORK AND MORK - My entry for the Planet Pulp Ha-Ha-Sitcom show. Especially for this show I revived my old Foldskool Heroes template, because it was perfect for the models I wanted to do. The template consists of two variations of Mork from Ork, one in his normal clothes and one in his uniform.

OFF WORLD COLONIES - My first entry for Planet Pulp pays tribute to my favorite movie, Blade Runner. The theme of the month was fake travel posters, so I created a 3D shop display for the Off World Colonies. Of course I had to create a character with it as well, so the paperscene shows Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) dreaming of better places.
