Linus & the Feel Good Factory's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I make stuff out of paper and take funny photos.
If I don't take funny photos, I take broody photos.

I don't like my paper cut-out objects being called Origami. They are not.

Instead of taking pictures in the real world, I like to bring my real world into the real world with verses and costumes.

I started writing this almost 365 daily tutorial called "Linus Knows How", hopefully viewers will find that enjoy my advices and my gentle sense of dead pan.

If I constantly like your photos without adding you as a contact or leaving a comment, it may mean I am having a crush on your (or your subject matters); too shy to actually write; speechless because of my sheer amount of love.
Please don't block me.
I may write slightly offensive jokes, I blame my quasi-British accent. It may come up worse if I try my quasi-Chinese accent.
Just don't block me. Love me.
Please

"Linus' work is Always interesting, original, inventive and fun. I come back to his portfolio again and again for inspiration and a good laugh."

"Linus!
Such a multi-talent! I first found him through his "Linus knows how" 365 project, which sports some amazing paper art. I have also through his stream been made aware of more sides to his never ending creativity.

He is one of the funniest guys around flickr, his humor is often underplayed, sarcastic and with an edge. I personally find him at his peak when he takes the piss out of modern society or is raising awareness on political situations, especially in China! Cheers to a true artist!"

"What can I say about Linus (and of course, his Feel Good Factory)?

To be honest, I haven't known him for long and only recently discovered his photostream. And what a gem - I've been hooked ever since.

From the incredibly amazing, intricate and beautiful costumes and paper accessories, to the fantastic colours and lighting, to the awesome life tutorials, every single shot is like a masterpiece, each one taking time to savour and absorb. I can't wait for more.

If this guy is not very famous and very rich very soon with this kind of creativity and work, then heck, I'll be damned.

Be happy Linus! :) Matt"

"Linus is an incredible artist.
I've been following his posts for a really long time- as a contact and not one. Every image and craft he makes is pure creativity and ultimately inspiring. I'm a photographer and I look a lot towards him for inspiration and he sure delivers! Just look through his stuff and you'll see that day after day he continues to post wonderful images that are emotional and positive. We need more people like him in the world to spread these positive thoughts and reach out to the world, so if you're debating on adding him as a contact do it now- he will fill your contact list with incredible images and happy messages to go along with them, you won't be let down. :-)"

"What a stunning array of ideas and quirky concepts you continue to come up with, both in the pictures and your directions for use. What complex sense of humour behind it, what deep understanding of the craggedness of our existence. All this brought into a form full of humorous simplicity, in an aestetically refined way. You truly are a conceptual artist and I admire the creative mind behind this."

"I just discovered Linus tonight and I have already fallen in love with his adorably creative, humorously witty, endlessly unique photos. My personal favorite: his animal box photos! :D Love the entire set. GO CHECK THEM OUT RIGHT NOW. Warning: if you don't like smiling and being inspired than DO NOT add Linus as a contact."

"Linus does a fantastic job of giving people a glimpse into his life/world. It would be hard to view his photos and not feel some sort of connection. His box characters theme is unmatched in creativity and always brings a smile to my face. Seems like a good bloke."

"Know him briefly from interent somewhere. Then find him on flickr. His photos always amuse me. I always wonder where does he get all these colourful backgrounds, funny hats and clothings and witty sense of photographing."

"linus...is a funny guy, and creative, i like his doodles and of course the pictures of jim, who doesn't love him but that unrequited love makes for some funny pics.... there is always humor and lightness in his photography. my favourite picture of him is the boy in a cheap plastic earring after a painting by vermeer."
