Published by ericgjerde

Hideo Komatsu has updated his website – with greatly improved navigation, photo links, and descriptions.

I am a huge fan of his work, and a regular reader of his blog; it’s great to see the two linked together more closely now, as well.

Thank you, Komatsu-san, for all your hard work, and your willingness to share your wonderful designs with the rest of us. It is deeply appreciated.

his latest design, which I hadn’t seen before today: a Sheep

Babelfish translated link here, for the english version. Babelfish does a horrendous job of translating Japanese, so I’d almost just recommend to not bother, but it’s your decision to make.

Mélisande folds Jane’s Flor (flower) model, using some of the wonderful precreased paper she received as a gift.

I like this model for many reasons, but the best reason is the various underlying geometries- when you look at it in different ways, it takes on different kinds of shapes.

I really like the levels of shading and play of color on this- it seems so very complex and many-layered!

the 3d triangle polyhedra pleat-intersection really goes a long way to heightening the depth and light-play of this piece.

here are the other photos of this work, too:
