The creators behind the models

Post by origamigod »

We know Komatsu Hideo, Kamiya Satoshi, Hojyo Takashi, Robert Lang, Jun Maekawa, Issei Yoshino and many other famous and talented creators who gift us their beautiful models to be collapsed by us.
But do we really know who they are, what they look like.
so if you can post photos of famous folders around the world to know the creators behind the models and not only the name

The best way to know some creators is going to conventions, there you can meet them all, here are just a few:

The man sitting on the floor is Toshikazu Kawasaki:

I was a bit surprised that I haven't found a photo of Eric Joisel between the BOS 40 pictures on our Origami Austria homepage, I was sure there should be one.
On the other hand I would have some pretty pictures of Eileen Tan, one of the best creators around, but am not sure if I'm allowed to post them.
