"Art is not born in a vacuum...but it's not born inside a tornado full of shrieking trolls either."

I spent this last weekend at the Montgomery County (Texas) Book Festival as a spouse of one of the authors, where I did my usual con thing of folding origami in odd moments, such as while attending panels or waiting for something to happen. Per usual, I gave the results all away, and didn't get any pictures. However, photographs of a few models have been showing up in odd corners of the interwebs.

Unfortunately, it looks like some of them fell under bad influences: the pegasus and the wyvern have been observed jousting with Twizzlers. I am, of course, disappointed with as straight a face as I can manage.* I've no idea how they went so wrong, for the last time I saw them, the pegasus was being politely friendly with a triceratops and a three-headed crane.**

Here's that triceratops on janni's shoulder, looking adorable. So we know he's not to blame ...


* Not at all.

** Yes, Virginia, someone somewhere out there actually designed a cerberean crane. And published instructions.
