Won Park's fighter jet

This is one of the first models I folded of Won Park's, back around 2002.  I think that may have been our first OUSA convention?

Joel Bauer is the one who was responsible for putting Won in touch with the origami community and setting his sights to venture to NYC for the convention.

Joel met Won while vacation in Hawaii.  Won, at the time, was a street artist.  When Joel returned back to Los Angeles, he raved about this origami artist he had met.  I thought he might have been exaggerating, since this was a guy no one had ever heard of.  Joel brought back some of Won's amazing work.  Won was a lone folder who soon became known to the community after OUSA.  Joel helped convince both Won and myself to attend our first origami convention.
