Paper Dragon
This one is a premade, one of Ethan's own designs that a collector claimed off the flash. It's a dragon built entirely out of folded paper, horns and jaw creased into hard planes, with the printed pattern of the sheet still running across every fold. Ethan shades the underside of each fold darker so the whole thing reads as real paper with real thickness, and the tail unrolls down the calf into a flat ribbon that hasn't been folded yet: that unfolded end is what sells the rest of it. One session, finished in August 2026. By Ethan Hideo.
