Wow, I’ve only been live with this new format for a week or so and already I’m getting a bunch of comment spam. even with Captchas, etc in place… not so good.

If he is a new name to you, I highly recommend you take a look at his beautiful and imaginative work. Paul Jackson www.origami-artist.com (in the process of being updated) www.papersonics.com (new) www.foldingtogether.org (new) Here’s a link from me to the English version, on the gallery I like the most out of all of them: Origami – pliage : découvrer la galerie de Jacquet Fritz Junior en ligne – plieur de papier The image displayed is great- it’s a man opening up his chest with his hands. what a new, unique, and slightly scary way of showing all those layers normally used in human-torso-folding…
