Paper art like you've never seen

Yes, you've seen origami. You've seen clever folding of paper made to look like a little boat. But, my friend, have you ever seen this?

Or this?

Ok, it's not done from one uncut piece of paper, but the impressive level of detail, I believe, makes it worthy of at least a "Wow!".

 The best part? The artist encourages others to follow his method here. Enjoy!
