I put this to you fine folks, whoever you and however many of you there are, to go and google Simon Schubert and try and find more stuff then I did. He lives in Cologne, Germany and he makes his work entirely by folding paper. Its one of those things that I find and it makes me think “If I’m not folding paper and making art out of it then I am totally irrelevant and lazy and uninspired”. Come to think of it this may be the only one of those things that makes me think that specifically but you get the general idea. Inspiration comes from all places. And in our recessionary world I find a lot more peace and joy and reflection in a folded piece of paper then I do in a crystal, diamond encrusted Damien Hearst skull . . .

. . . because there is just a breaking point where money and art can spin only so fast together until their molecules collide and the benefits of both are crushed into dust and lost into the ether.

and the result of this mismanaged alchemy usually involves crystal skulls . . . im looking at you indiana jones.
