This weekend, some of the Datahunters have found their way to the design fair BLICKFANG in Zurich / Switzerland. We are very happy to present these tiny guys to a huge crowd for this three days. Tonight Sara and me where there to keep company with them and check if they have a nice view to all the other stuff like a great deal of furniture, fashion dolls and quaint jewelry :)

Finally the tiny Datahunter is waiting in the wings,
so come back and get your own Datahunter in a few days…
but don’t wait too long, Massivecut will only made 333 pieces
of this hungry guy with his fluffy sleepingbag ;)
…mmmmmmh, must eat more!!!!
update: a few word about this paper-box: it was fun to make this colorfull version
of a packaging and also the folding works perfect…
but finally i don’t think it’s the right kind of packaging for the Datahunter ’cause
the style is too much like every mass-produced toy from china. It dosn’t hit the look
for an unique handcrafted toy like the Datahunter…what you think?
(yes, and i really fixed my nikon coolpix! :)
my lovely cam (coolpix990) is broken :( …so no pictues at this time, but at least
i have to post this template for a package of the DataHunters in processes. I was trying
to work with sketches and had a vage layout concept in my mind. Then i vectorized
my line drawings and do the inking afterwards with Illustrator.
Had the biggest problem to place all the necessary informations somewhere, set
points of interests, get everything together and ajust the colorrange.
I’ve printed different variations on 350g/m2 Brisrol Paper, cuted out, folded the packaging and attached the transparent window before glueing all together. Picures will folowing when i can finally grab another cam (..or maybe i should try to repair the old one:)
What u think? Anyone experience in print- and punching processes? Could use some advices…thx
click thumbnail to see all details
…two shots of the black/white type, one with pink sleepingbag. enjoy :)
Finally an update on projects! Well, just one but I’ll post more in the next few days.
Been super busy since the last update. First check out the new sweet “bling!bling!” DataHunter:
DATAHUNTER GOLD (special edition/wooden box)
This new gemmy guys are vanished with a warm gold tone and have
two jewels as eyes. For now only 5 pieces are made and every
of them has his own wooden box out of dark oak tree and lined
with red velvet. A branding for the box is in progress and soon
ready for the CNC millcut in brass…wondering if this works well :o
…it was tricky and took me a while to fix the jewels in position.
but i think it was worth the effort to get this shiny eyes, hope you like it?
DataHunter is such a lazzy&tired guy, so he really needs a sleepingbag :)
Since a while i check out different clothes for my DataHunter with my friend Sara, who has handsewed this whole collection. I think, has done a great job :) We checked out all style of materials and finally we have found the best fit: a soft and shiny jersey for his sleepingbag. All the details have consuming a lot of development time till we found the best pattern for sewing, the right band for the loop or the cellphonecord.
This kinky pink bag will help to protect your DataHunter on his daily travels, hunting from computer to computer :)
At the time we have only a odd lot of this material, but yesterday i’ve got other fluffy jersey color exsamples from germany, so i have to get more stuff! have to order tomorrow :) i think anthrazit(nearly black) and a shiny golden piece is next.
any suggestions for a name??? :)

finally a lot of cute DataHunters!!!
uii…naked tiny datahunters, you think….
Yes, and now each one get a tiny number on his ass. What a fun! :)
these are Nr. 001 to 025. We will see…
maybe the one or another will escape from our lab and you’ll
found a few of them hanging arround in our etsy store ;)
…and here a few views of the fresh, new emblem for his delicious box:
a version of the front sticker of the Datahunters shipping box.
first i’ve drawn a rough sketch, scaned, printed the image bigger and redraw the sujet clean. Than i made in photoshop paths of every part of the scene to made some trial and error with color-settings and outlines. After this step the most time-consuming work is to layout the typography… i used to shuffle all the textlines and have hours to find the right proportions of the font…so this is only a first tryout, but if you read the sticker carefully, you have now at least a first clue what’s all about this little new guy! …so stay tuned :)
It’s time for a short update about our new friend the DataHunter: He is still scurry arround in our massivecut-lab, and we have to look good after him. Some nights he gorge oneself with all our best datas and about noon he wakes up, most the time terribly tired. Than he hangs arround the whole afternoon without doing anything: he’s just a lazy datahunter, but in good faith :)
Not only game console inspires us for new molds. There are a lot of other electronic devices which could have a more friendly surfaces.
A few weeks ago the idea for a DataHunter was born. Pepe is the father of the little hungry guy. His obsession is your daily data! Watch the pictures and guess who will pitch into your files…
