Pinball Machine Pop-up Business Card

Pinball Machine Pop-up Business Card

Technically, I guess it’s not really a business card – but it was meant to be. The “glass” of the pinball machine has the correct dimensions of a business card and the four legs and top score panel would have folded

“Santa’s Claw” Pop-up Book Animation

“Santa’s Claw” Pop-up Book Animation

“Peep Show” birdhouse Mutoscope
