Superhero Sunday #01

What Are You Doing Here? by Nachomon

Today is the start of a new feature here on Paper &... It's called Superhero Sunday. Every Sunday a hero will be chosen and artwork from across the web will be featured here. The first superhero of Superhero Sunday is Superman. For those who know me this is an obvious one to start with. Being the first and greatest superhero ever, I believe this is appropriate. Leave a comment with suggestions on who you think next weeks superhero should be. I hope you enjoy this amazing art!

Interview with Sillof

I recently had the chance to pick Sillof's brain. For those of you who don't know who Sillof is, he is a toy customizer as well as a stop-action short film creator. Sillof is pronounced "Si" (like Psi or Sci-fi ) and "llof" (like cough or pilaf). 

Sillof is the creator of many great custom figures. His lines include West Wars, Gaslight Justice League, Star Wars 1942 and many more.

Here is the interview first then a small gallery of my favorites to follow.
