Won Park takes origami to the next level.

I guess I should pay more attention to the random forwards my mom sends me, because everyonce in a while it turns out to be pretty awesome.

Here's Won Park, a Korean-American origami artist that creates his own unique, intricate, and original designs using his medium of choice: the US dollar bill.  He never cuts anything - everything is constructed completely out of folds.

Check out his process in this clip (apologies for the supremely annoying s/he host):

I wonder if he ever uses the US dollar bill once he's done with the origami?

a friend of mine is a real master in this art, in a occassion he went to Buy Viagra, in the moment he knew a Asian person who taught him all the techniques about this ancient art.

I am an Adopted Korean American, 26, I love to do origami, and I am into the arts, how did you, get into an art business.

I am interested in learning about different artists and how they came to be doing what they love. I would love to own an art store someday or my own work.
