Bert Simon's Paper Sculptures

These amazing portrait sculptures by Bert Simon's are made entirely from folded paper. They are made by first of all modelling the head's in 3d on an open source cad programme like Blender. They're then printed out as a net and stuck together to made 3d sculptures. I think they're really cool and look just like 3d computer game characters from the 80s. They particularly remind me of the film Back to the Future 2 when it features some 3d talking characters on a screen which are supposed to look futuristic but now look exprememly dated. At the same time as looking like computer graphics though, they kind of also look like they are carved from wood. I'd like to see how I would look as a 3d paper sculpture.
