Who am I? (And other questions)

Who am I?

My name is Marcus. I like to do origami. That's the short answer.

The long answer? My goal with this blog is to get people to think and feel deeply about origami. To that end, some of my posts are just pictures of models I've folded, but an increasing amount consists of writings on origami: its history, the culture surrounding it, the methods of design that people use, and the sheer diversity of artistic expression that exists within it today. Origami is so much more than flapping birds and fortune-tellers, and I've made it my duty to push its boundaries and explore origami in unexpected ways.

Thank you for indulging in my little corner of the internet, and enjoy!

Where should you start reading my essays?

I now have a reading guide! I'd start with the Crane Trilogy and then jump around from there.

Do I design my own models?

Yes! All posts with the "my own creation" tag feature my designs. (Diagrams will come eventually, whenever I learn how to make those.) I also regularly fold models designed by other people, which can be found in convention posts, yearly book reviews, or the My Favorite Works series.
