Last month, didja see Google's logo shaped like origami? It's not the first time Google shared their love of origami. In 2009, Vanessa Gould, Director of the Peabody Award Winning film Between the Folds and featured origami artists were invited to Filmmakers at Google to talk about origami - an amazing blend of art and science.

Simon Schubert from Germany 2d graphics, 3d art, origami paper | (1)
Many thanks to Joe Keylon of BACE (Business and Creative Exchange) for sending me Simon Schubert's jaw dropping portfolio. What makes Mr. Schubert's work exceptional is his ability to blend contrasting techniques (2d vs. 3d, negative vs. positive space, and valley vs. mountain folds) into objects, figures and people we can all relate to - all with a simple piece of paper. Because paper's very first fold quickly commits to memory, you can sense the experience, confidence, and patience Mr. Schubert has with each and every fold - and these traits inspire me deeply.
