That is so cool! I am totally going to see his art exhibit! Way to go Matt!

And to the DesNes: It's tonic-clonic not colonic. Get your body parts right!

There is a larger story here. It is impossible to find the time to fold enough paper to develop this skill set. This could be a statement on winter and living in Utah. If you don't have hundreds to fork over to the ski industry you hang out plying Monopoly or folding sheets of paper.

He should sell it on ebay. I hope he writes a book.

I've had origami dreams too; I was trying to fold various dimensions of space-time--one of which contained my pillow. It was so frustrating that I woke up and thought, "Oh, that's impossible!" And went back to sleep. . . where it is possible.
