Paper-clone by Bert Simons


While the science for creating an identical copy of yourself still seems a little way off (and fraught with ethical complications), this might just be the best interim option.

As a response to his mid-life crisis, Bert Simons created this paper version of his own head using 3D software techniques. The end result looks something like a strange physical rendering of a Second Life character.

The intriguing process is documented here. Terrific stuff.

hello! I found your wonderful site after doing a google search for how to hand score paper or cardboard. Perhaps one of you could help or suggest where I could find more info? I am trying to score 300gsm paper to use in packaging my resin work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Scoring paper
I tend to favour a sharp knife over a dull one, just make sure you do a few practice runs first (you get a feel for it after a while).

For scoring paper I like to use a uni-ball micro ink pen that's run out of ink.
