Great Big Story

Toot from Dr. Lang, via Origami-L:

I don’t know if it’s really a great BIG story, but CNN did a nice little story on my folding:


http://www.greatbigstory.com/stories/folded-universe-the-astonishing-beauty-of-origami/


A few errata:


(1) There’s a few errors in their chronology on that page. I’ve sent them corrections. Until then, FAKE NEWS! Sad!


(2) At one point, I seem to be saying I invented an airbag. Which is wrong. (I contributed to an airbag algorithm.) I expect the Senate to investigate.


(3) I borrowed a line from Marty Demaine in BTF at one point. Marty, your royalty check is in the mail.


Other than all that, I hope you like it.

When Origami Meets an Untimely Death

Ever seen a 2D Divine Dragon, before?

This is what a Bahamut from a 10" square looks like after it falls to the floor and you step on it:

I actually think this is salvageable.  I just have to take the time to reshape.


I remember once when I worked at a retail store, I was delighted to see someone walk in who I hadn't seen in years.  She had since become a mother, cradling her baby in one arm.   I was a lead cashier at the time and sometimes kept origami at my register.  I went and grabbed for her a John Montroll Pegasus I had folded.

Next thing I know, she comes up to me and her baby is sucking on the Pegasus like an origami pacifier.

*Facepalm*



Anyone else ever have one of these experiences?

Mystery Model

Anyone care to identify this model and its creator?  I've seen a lot of complex human-figure models out there; but haven't seen this one before.

I remember a time when Eric Joisel and Takashi HOJYO human forms were about as good as they get.

*UPDATE* 20:36

The model is GuanYU 1.5 by Leo Lai.  7 sheets.  Amazing!  Check out his other majestic origami art!

Thank you, Origami University!

Lang Mantis

November 18, 2003

A Lang praying mantis- I believe from Origami Insects II.  (Folded over 10 yrs ago, and just dug up the photo). 


Of course, Lang has had several mantis designs over the years, including "Snack Time", which I'd like to call, "Origami in Sex, Too":

The process of folding Satoshi Kamiya's Ryujin 2.1. Before this video began, I had to crease an 80x80 grid onto the 55" / 140cm sheet, then add crease lines to use during the collapsing process. This video shows the 8 hours from the end of precreasing to the final shaping, done between 4 sessions which were originally aired live. The music is "Mad Rush" by Philip Glass, performed by myself.

For anyone that wishes to try their hands at being tutored through Ryujin 3.5, this was offered 2 months ago...

McKayla is Impressed

Not impressed....

....Unless it's folded from in 3 steps or less.

Apologies to any owners of these photographs I pirated and 'shopped off the internet without attribution.
