As part of Artisan Crafts Week here on deviantART I'll be doing a series of interviews with some of dA's most prominent crafters.
Next out is ~orudorumagi11 - thank you so much!!
My name is Won Park. I am a dollar bill origami artist and I live in Honolulu Hawaii.
I was first introduced to the art of Origami from my mother when I was five years old.
I would say that I'm very precise in my folding style. Artistically I would say that I very eccentric. I noticed this when I was about fourteen years old.
My hands and crisp brand new dollar bills. I also use a nice sharp pair of tweezers once a while for very small folds. I fold anywhere I can.
In my opinion, you need to capture the essence of your subject no matter how complex or simple. You need the essence to make a great model.
I take some of the photos. Lucky for me I have some professional photographers for friends. They help me out a lot. Tip wise, I would say keep it simple.
Inspiration come from everything around me.
I am currently finishing work on a project for a non-profit in Brooklyn. As for future plans, I am thinking of doing some costuming.
Maybe a special section for tutorials.
Input from `Myana “There is! Tutorials, patterns and how to’s can be found in Resoucres > Tutorials > Artisan Crafts”
This piece is by Brian Chan. I love this piece, It really captures the frailness of the mayfly.
This piece reminds me of my childhood. I use to watch "Tom and Jerry" when I was a kid. Also the artist did an amazing job in capturing the scene.
I love Fantasy art and this is just beautiful. It's all leather made by hand.

I'm a big Lego fan and a Transformers fan. So this too cool. The artist made this from scratch.
I think is my best piece. It really captures the essence of the Koi fish. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I like this piece because it's eccentric. Who the heck folds a toilet? Well, I guess me.
12) What is the best tip you can give to others
A) If you want to do something you should do it. Don't put it off till later or you will never get around to it.

I saw the "One Dollar Camera" in while browsing for something else and it caught my eye... I had a friend who used to do origami but she quit (don't know why)
Your work is beautiful Won !
So much for that theory...
Great work and a great interview
No, people who print and use fake notes are called counterfeiters.
...and the US Secret Service likes to "talk" to them.
hehe I suppose that true..
