    Hui’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.

    Pushing 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.

    For his daily paper costumes, he has crafted elaborate hair, snakes crawling out of a pant leg, broken hearts, conical breasts and sock garters.

    His series of animal heads could easily double as self standing sculptures. 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.

    Using paper instead of fabrics or other heavy duty materials, Hui is able to let his creativity take the spolight, as well as yield a completely <a href="http://inhabitat.com/luzinterruptus-releases-a-colorful-army-of-illuminated-garbage-bags-for-recycling-awareness-in-warsaw/" target="_blank">recyclable piece of art</a>. 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.

    Hui plans to finish his 365 days of <a href="http://inhabitat.com/hilarious-“moneygami”-portraits-depict-famous-figures-using-folded-up-currency/" target="_blank">paper costume portraits</a>, making himself and fans smile along with his “Feel Good Factory.”
