Origami Unicorn From Blade Runner: How to Make One

September 23, 2008 in Art,Crafts with 11 Comments

Let’s face it. We all want to be like Edward James Olmos. While serving as a captain of a Battlestar, he got to make out with Mary McDonald McDonnell. He was nominated for an Oscar in Stand & Deliver (‘how do I reeeach these keeeds’) and got to boss around Don Johnson on Miami Vice. All in all, he’s the man.

Well, now you can be just a little like Olmos, at least, like him in Blade Runner. Remember when he made that origami unicorn? Well, here are instructions, courtesy of Enveloop Online. Awesome.

The thinking behind the snipping of this gorgeous Golden Age Hawkman poster is more obscure. I suspect my good friends at Quirk Books just got fed up with my constant tubthumping on behalf of gorilla covers. Anyway, here is the text that got cut out, as a special exclusive to Schnakworld readers. In my next post, I’ll explain what I was trying to tell you with those damned origami unicorns. [...]
