Who is this beautiful man? I don’t usually do posts on boys, but this immensely talented origami artist is my brother, Shuki!
Look at what he does! (An ohmu from Miyazaki’s epic manga series and following anime: Nausicaa):
His original designed origami models are now available in his freshly opened etsy store, here: http://www.Shukikato.etsy.com

Shuki’s been doing origami, the art of folding a traditionally square piece of paper, no folding or cutting, since he was nine. He’s devoured just about every origami manual available, and has long ago graduated from following the steps system of folding to be able to fold a model directly from looking at a crease pattern… for example:
This turns into this:
If you’d like to see more of his work, he also has a flickr and deviantart account:

And don’t forget to support him at his shop:
Great work!
OMG, is that an awesome Dr. Who tattoo sleeve?!
Haha, yes, and yes!
It looks beautiful. You must post better pics of it!
P.S. Your brother is awesome
Wow – amazing work! I’ll show my friend this, she loves origami and paper crafts =D Good luck to him with his etsy shop!
Thank you!
Wow, this post is way too flattering (blush).
Not at all, on the contrary! You’re more awesome than you even think!
Wow! amazing work
Btw I’ve got the exact same NERV t-shirt as him! Came across this when searching for nausicaä and ohmu. Are you guys half-asian by any chance? So is my son (turning one in 2 months)!
Thank you! Yes, we’re half Japanese, so naturally we grew up waching all of Hayao Miyazaki’s amazing work.
