06.01.09Simon Schubert from GermanyMany 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.

Your final model can be as large or small as your imagination allows it to be!
