The Dark Side of the Fold

Norm Feuti about Origami Man:

One of the ideas I submitted prior to Retail being picked up for syndication by King Features, was a strip called Origami Man. It featured a short origami enthusiast named Ko and a living life-sized origami panda who was simply referred to as, Panda. 

In the strip, Panda inexplicably comes to life one day and Ko is forced to deal with it. Being his creator, Ko feels obligated to act as Panda’s teacher in life, but finds his student less than willing to heed his strait-laced wisdom.

I loved this idea, but it was universally rejected by the syndicates.

Origami with Schooling for Life

Had a great time conducting a 2 hour workshop yesterday.

Thanks Denise!  Thanks Jessica!

POP last Sunday

I had to work and arrived for the last hour.  It looked to be a good turnout.  I also learned that Jared Needle's been back in the area since last August.  I did not know this.

2016 is the year of the fold

Why origami is the latest new mindfulness craze:

Next month sees the publication of ‘Zen Doodle Origami’ by Sussex-based author and illustrator Carolyn Scrace. In April, there will be a rush of titles: ‘Colour-Gami: Colour and Fold Your Way to Calm’; ‘The Book of Mindful Origami: Fold Paper, Unfold Your Mind’; and ‘Zen Origami: 20 Modular Forms for Meditation and Calm’. Some of these books come with sheets of origami paper, which you can colour in before folding them into a crane, a lotus flower or a Samurai helmet.
