David Mitchell's Origami Heaven - Authorship Services
 
Authorship Services
 
 
David Mitchell is a professional contract author and illustrator specialising in origami. He has over ten years of experience in creating designs, artwork and folded models for all kinds of publishing projects, including books of all kinds, boxed kits and calendars. A selection of his published work is shown below.

Where he is contracted to act as both author and illustrator, a book created from existing designs, of which he has a large stock of all kinds and levels of complexity, will generally take about 10 weeks from signature of contract to delivery of digital artwork and folded models for photography. A longer period may be required where designs need to be created from scratch. Books where the folding instructions are presented as step photographs can sometimes be done more quickly.

David Mitchell also offers specialist editorial, consultancy and proof-reading / proof-folding services to publishers on projects where he is not contracted to act as author or illustrator.
