The Origami Forum

Who does know why he no longer invents?Where did he disappear? To whom what are his works liked?

His work is wellknown - gorilla, reading newspaper or gecko and fly, but any other information? He introduced inovative modular technique but what he do now...?

And of course, I like his work very much, especially his cat!

And gorilla of class.On this forum are there Belgians? Probably they know where he...

I met him briefly at the 2006 CDO convention in Italy. He's a really nice guy, and he had a great action boat model he was teaching.

I think he's still folding and creating things.

He's really tall!

Thank you for interesting information! It is healthy, that he designs yet.

Herman still goes to some of the conventions, but I don't think he's creating a lot these days. The latest one (referred to above) is Ships Passing in the Night, the diagrams for which are in the latest BOS magazine. It's a clever action fold with two ships that sail past each other on a pleated "sea". A few of his models appear online, but to get them all you'd have to go through a lot of old convention books.

I hate to be picky about this sort of thing, but isn't it spelled with an "o"? As in, "Herman van Goubergen".

Thanks for the reminder. Changed.
I agree that it is very disrespectful to write names false.
