A quick question

Is David Brill's Brilliant Origami titled such because of his last name being the first part of the word brilliant?

Yes... it's a good pun

Only Dave can solve this question.

Sounds pretty unlikely to me...

Of course it is intentional...

Although I wonder if he had named the book 'Dave-iant Origami' (after his first name)...would it be so popular?!

It would, the models inside are great no matter how the bookÂ´s named.

Good work Dave! ...or should I rather say Valle?

Of course! The book is a classic!

In fact I am amazed at the way he has explored the triangle as a beginning shape for some of his popular models (Horse, Lion etc). Personally, I find his approach parallel to Akira san's in a way, that, there is enough room for expression in the final shaping stage.

BTW, if you like his models, you should see him when he is folding; the paper just seems to melt in the desired shape!

I do hope he comes out with another book!

Melt? wow... mine just folds, and molds overt time into the shape I want... it doesn't melt for me
