Origami dinosaur

This is a scan of an origami dinosaur. It's the signature original fold of a young origami artist, Riordan Tyson. He says: "When I was very young, I had a habit of folding paper into various abstract shapes, from my dad’s old train tickets to envelopes, any paper I could find. At the age of 8, during a local youth club activity, I discovered that this practice of paper folding was a Japanese art-form called Origami. Soon after, whilst out shopping with my mother, I spotted an Origami book. I persuaded her to purchase it for me, starting my journey as a life-long origami artist. Many teachers at school frowned upon it, as I had a habit of making origami during lessons, but my Spanish teacher Mr. Metz actively encouraged me. He suggested I find a different material for my sculptures, as paper disintegrates with time. After almost 20 years of practicing the art, I am now using 3D printing technology in order to explore and expand all the possibilities origami can give."   Scanned with Artec Space Spider during a workshop.
