Overall Impression

David Brill was the guest of honor at the 2nd Israeli origami convention
held in 2005. As a tribute to his work, the Israeli Origami Center collected some
of his favorite models created since the publication of Brilliant Origami.
Most of the models did appear in print elsewhere, but usually in hard-to-obtain
magazines and convention books, so it's nice to see them all in one place.
The models are all in Dave's unique life-like style, and are a joy to fold and to behold.
