origami...on steroids...









Shin Tanaka, as he describes himself, was a graffiti artist looking for an interesting canvas instead of a street-wall. One day, he hit upon an idea to draw graffiti on a toy.

But as he couldn’t find a good toy for it, he made a toy from a paper as his new canvas. He got also involved into creating paper models of his favorite sneakers.

His creations have two elements: Origami and Street Culture. it is this mix of the Japanese paper culture and the colors and lines of street art.
