<\/a><\/p>\nMarc Kirshenbaum\u2019s \u201cBlue Sky\u201d. Marc is known for complex models including insects and musicians, and for his whimsical sense of humor. This year he brought that all together in his \u201cOriginal Beatle\u201d, a beetle playing a guitar. But to me Blue Sky demonstrates such a simple and fresh approach, and ends up being very evocative, so here it is.<\/p>\n
Joseph Wu always does such amazing work. He has just the right sculptural touch to bring a subject to life. Here are some of his pigs and an octopus.<\/p>\n Brian Chan is a virtuoso folder who loves to tackle supercomplex subjects. His work transcends mere technique. Here is the anime heroine Rei.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n Michelle\u2019s candy box was selected for this year\u2019s Origami by children exhibit.<\/p>\n …<\/p>\n Here\u2019s a bunch of photos of my exhibit.

I\u2019ve been carrying this idea around with me for a while, but had no idea if it would worked until I tried it, particularly the way the paper goes in around the equator. This also is a proof of concept for the tail and fins for my work-in-progress Zeppelin model. I\u2019m now working on a second, rounder, version of the Sphere with 72 rather than 32 facets.<\/p>\n My Pyramid\/Sphinx, spontaneously invented in response to a conversation with John Montroll and Won Park.<\/p>\n Here are a bunch of pictures from the convention. Get ready, there are a lot of \u2018em. First up, a few personal favorites among the many, many models on exhibit. Seth Friedman\u2019s Blue Bar Pigeon. Perhaps my favorite model this year.
