and dozens of specially commissioned works
Welcome to Paperpops.com, home of paper engineer Bruce Foster. I have created over 65 published pop-up books! My work is in the opening and throughout the Disney film, Enchanted. I am a prolific and entertaining speaker, primarily for elementary schools, but also for all ages. Besides books I am the editor and art director of the quarterly magazine, Movable Stationery, the newsletter of the Movable Book Society and is the webmaster for the Houston chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.

Editorial and
Art Direction
With a BFA in Graphic Design and Studio Arts, I have years of experience as a graphic artist and art director. As seen above, combining my interests in paper engineering and children’s books with that experience, I have been the editor and designer of the quarterly online magazine, Movable Stationery for three years, as well as editor of the monthly newsletter for the Houston Chapter of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
Presentations and Speaking
Informative, engaging, and entertaining presentations for both elementary schools and adults. I am proud to have given hundreds of presentations to schools as well as presentations to adult audiences around the world. Seen above is from a presentation I gave to the Smithsonian Institute in 2010 in Washington DC.
