Its refreshing to hear someone admit failure.

The human mind is so complex, there is no boundaries for what it can do to astonish you.

It is only failure if you learn nothing, If in the a temp you learn something then you have not failed. It is in gaining knowledge that we grow. Loved your video.

This person who put this video together did a great job editing .. but no one ll think of the work to make the video just the artist that made the art.. they both did great job.

I can't understand why anyone would possibly dislike this video.
Such beauty and talent

Breathtakingly beautiful! The paper was so white! I could never do this! I would make it dirty with a mixture of fingermarks and glue sticking me to the project, I would glue myself to the desk, mess it all up a million times over, throw it in a corner and never try again! Wonderful!

It’s amazing how people learn so many different things and can transform it into pure art. The structures the shapes in your work are truly stunning

Sir, that is breath taking. There is no other way to describe it, and anyone should be humbled and honored if they receive a card like what you created for any occasion.
