Dublin has been invaded! Winking

I just got back from a nice little week end in the Irish city of Dublin! Which means that a new European country has been invaded! The project is spreading and spreading! By the way the whiskey and the beer taste good over there, you should check it out! I was even surprised by the weather: we had some nice sunshine! Check the photos by clicking here >>

Invading a body!Winking

I didn't give any news for a while and I would like to apologize for that! Still in France they say 'no news good news'!
Anyway I am back with some fresh and juicy stuff! I've been talking with some friends and we came up with nice plans for the origami invasion project! One of them was to invade a body! So we did as you can see here under! I'd like to thank Margeau for her participation, patience, and cooperation! She did a perfect model! And finally I invite you folks to start invading bodies!

Some news from Australia!

A quick post as I reciieved some pictures from our friend Koka who is in Australia with our little Morgane! It seems that the sun is shinning and that they are having a good time (you lucky animals)! Anyway here under the two photos I got. Following Koka's comments, the second photo was taken in a local museum full of origamis (which made him think about me, how sweet!)! Take care my friends and keep enjoying as you will be home faster than you think! koka

Happy Birthday!

invasion-continues

Time passes by....tic tac tic tac....
The end of January is approaching, time just flies by! As a matter of fact the origami-invasion website has been existing for a year now! That seems like a good occasion to go partying with some birds! So happy birthday to all of you! For the occasion I''ve been working on some stuff as you will be able to read here under. Anyway I hope that the project will keep on growing as it did till now and of course that the love will keep on spreading all over the world! Stay connected and feel free to take a look at the 'support' section, as some new stuff has been added, and also look at the 'Facts & Figures', should you want more recent news concerning the site! Take care as usual!

Concerning the project:
I’ve personally folded 828 origamis during this year (seems like it shouldn’t take much longer for my wish to come true).
4 continents have been invaded, representing a total of 17 countries.
We have 25 active invaders worldwide. Thanks once more to all of you!

Concerning the site:
We’ve had 1883 visitors in a year!
They are coming from 39 different countries!
The design has been changed 3 times (as 3 is the number, the magic number, or maybe I just have a personality problem?! ).


A new (and final?) design:
Furthermore I had to do something for the occasion! So as you can see the site’s design has changed once more: I’ve decided to keep it simple! I mean lot of people say ‘just stay natural’ so why not follow their spiritual thinking? I’ve also read a lot about the impact of blue on human beings: you should now be feeling good while surfing the site! Feel free to tell me which design was best during this year!

Special edition t-shirts:
Finally as the site is one year old I thought ‘why not make some special edition t-shirts to celebrate the even?!!’ ( and naturally to do some propaganda). So I started working on that matter, and here are the prototypes that should be printed out soon:

limited-shirts

Unfortunately my dear friends they will only be printed out in limited numbers so I can't guarantee you'll have one!

Some new pictures have been added: Thanks Maxime!
I just received Maxim's photos of Thailand. They have been added to the Worldwide Invasion section, go and check them out by clicking here, as he did a great job!).

Material Universe Calendar 2008
‘Material Universe’: French calendar, simple style, big numbers, no national holidays.

The first calendar, titled ‘Material Universe’, is composed of places from all over the world: Spain, Germany, France, England, The Netherlands, Sweden, Hungary, Scotland, Switzerland, Indonesia, Australia and the United States. It’s a mix that will allow you to discover places you’ve never been before, and thus make you travel while staying at home or in the office... A compilation of pictures I’ve received so far from our worldwide invaders located somewhere in our little planet. Thanks once more for your photos and enjoy each day!

Urban Delicacies - Calendar 2008

Urban Delicacies’: French calendar, urban style, small numbers, French national holidays.
The second calendar, titled ‘Urban Delicacies’, is a composition of urban elements: objects and places that are part of our daily lives but yet escaping our consideration. We could describe it as photos of our daily views, stuff we see but we don’t remember seeing if you know what I mean...Anyway this calendar can be resumed like this: immortalizing urban delicacies with an artistic touch! I hope these pictures will inspire you and liberate your imagination as the months will pass by!

Stop using Explorer... Happy

Getting a headache because of all this HTML coding...

html-code

I’m getting back to you folks as I received some messages telling me that the site was not rendering properly! As a mater of fact I only received one message: thank you again Morgane! It seems that the problem only takes place when you are using Internet Explorer (that sucks as 80 % of you are using it!) Still I did some tests at my friends’ places and it all depends on the version you have of Explorer! I’ve realized that with different versions you get different results! So all I have to say is stop using it and start downloading some free and better stuff (such as Firefox, Camino, Opera, etc)! No okay, more seriously I know that I’m not gonna change your habits (even if it would make life easier for you), so I have changed some stuff and codes! I sincerely hope that the site will now be rendering the way it should be! But to know that I will need your feedback, so leave a comment should you spot something strange! Thanks people!
