The Jackalope is the result of the Paper Toy project, an assignment from Advanced Letterpress. My first concept was to create a Narwal Whale, which ended in disaster. Then, after many other ideas and attempts at different toys, an old memory sparked a new idea.
 
My first roommate in college had an old, half broken Jackalope piggy bank–there was just something about it that made me refuse to let her to throw it away. Jackalopes are cute and hopeful and defy logic; the perfect solution to the Paper Toy!
 
To my surprise, it’s received quite a bit of attention. It’s been very gratifying to receive so much positive feedback from one of my designs.
