Linus Hui and The Feel Good FactoryHui’s “costumes” began simply. He used paper to represent blood, or a mustache, or a bleeding heart. Realizing the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/jennifer-colliers-recycles-old-literature-into-inspiring-new-objects/" target="_blank">diversity of paper</a>, he was then inspired to push himself to the limit, and began crafting more complex pieces with his scissors and glue.2
Linus Hui and The Feel Good FactoryPushing himself to the limit, he decided to make a new paper costume and self portrait each day for 365 consecutive days! Each is paired with a witty title, which often poke fun at idioms and literal meanings.3

Made from <a href="http://inhabitat.com/artomik-foam-board-sculptures/" target="_blank">paper and discarded cardboard boxes</a>, the cartoony whales, bunnies, bears and birds would delight any toy and animation fan.5

His skills caught the attention of the <a href="http://www.lanecrawford.com/" target="_blank">Lane Crawford</a> retail store, where he was asked to design some paper sculptures for their display windows in Hong Kong.6
