From Pokemon to Harry Potter and everything in between, Canadian artist Jobe Brown looks to pop culture to inspire his incredibly intricate origami creations. He has created the adorable Pikachu, the fast flying snitch, Mr. Krabs and more. Since Jobe Brown specializes in 3D origami art and is only a mere 20 years of age, it is only natural that he would meld the two worlds together.
Jobe Brown's origami work is so complex that at times he uses glue to better hold them together. Although people dispute that it is origami at all if he does that, Jobe Brown assures people that he only uses the glue to allow his paper sculptures to last longer.
