In a world of trail­blaz­ing design big dogs and crafty cheat­ing copy­cats, there is only one route to reach great heights, and that’s to follow your own path!  No-one enjoys being ripped off, whether it’s a char­ac­ter or a type­face, an art print or a toy, so let’s all shout out loud “Of the real, by the real, for the real!  WE DON’T NEED FAKE!!!”

‘WE DON’T NEED FAKE’ is a new project set-​up by paper pio­neer and friend of Speak­er­dog, Shin Tanaka, to pro­mote the idea of stop­ping all the copy­ing and stepping up to design from your own hearts and minds.  Seven paper toys have been designed so far to spread the mes­sage so check out the site, down­load your favourite and dis­play with pride!
