Anyone who has seen Ridley Scott’s monumental movie Blade Runner probably remembers the character of Gaff, played by Edward James Olmos. Gaff serves as a kind of street-smart chorus in the movie, kind of like the scarcely delineated character who tells private detective J.J. Gittes to “Forget it Jake, it’s Chinatown” in Roman Polanski’s movie of that name.

Blade Runner being Blade Runner, however, the character of Gaff is highly ethereal and elusive. Throughout the movie he strews his little origami figures everywhere he goes, as an incessant mocking reminder to Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) that he’ll never be one step ahead.

I had forgotten, but it turns out that in the movie Gaff makes three different creatures—an origami unicorn, an origami chicken, and a little man made from a matchstick. I know this because of the website run by a man named Kenneth Thompson, owner of a construction and flooring company in Michigan, that is dedicated to producing and selling actual origami recreations of Gaff’s Unicorn as well as providing tutorials about how to make all three of Gaff’s figures on your own.

Noticing that there was not a place to buy Gaff’s Unicorn on the Internet, Thompson decided that he “was going to have to make it” himself.

Here’s a section of Thompson’s instructions on how to make Gaff’s chicken:
 

 
If you want to buy one of Thompson’s replicas of Gaff’s Unicorns, you can do so from his site. As Thompson describes it, “At the end of the film as Deckard and Rachael are entering the elevator from Deckard’s apartment, Deckard notices another origami figure on the floor of the hall.” This is Gaff’s Unicorn.

You can buy one for $14.99 or, if you’d like a plexiglass case to showcase it, that’ll cost you $32.99.

Erotic origami design by Marc Kirschenbaum
 
Even the ancient art of origami—the process of creating three-dimensional objects by folding paper which originated in Asia in the late 1600s—is not devoid of renegade artistic deviants that have mastered the craft. There are even a few books that have been published hoping to spread the good word about porn-y paper folding. Erotic origami, where have you been all my life?
 

Erotic origami by Nick Robinson
 
In 2004, London-based artist Nick Robinson put out a book called Very Naughty Origami. In it, Robinson provides step-by-step diagrams of how to create titillating folded paper figures such as his “Schwanstucker.” Robinson’s “schwanstucker” (named for Terri’s Garr’s use of the word in Young Frankenstein to describe the size of Frankenstein’s monster member), is an anatomically correct folded paper penis. That, according to the description in Robinson’s book, also happens to move when you squeeze it.
 

How to fold an origami penis by Master Sugoi
 
Later that year, an artist going by the name of Master Sugoi coined the excellent phrase “pornogami” for his book, Pornogami: Original Erotic Origami. In the book, Sugoi teaches aspiring pornogamists to fold paper into erotic shapes like a penis, vulva, and boobs, among other things.

Then, in 2008, artist Marc Kirschenbaum put out his take on sexy paper folding with his book, Erotic Origami. Kirschenbaum is fond of creating paper figures in various states of getting it on (pictured at the top of this post and below). Nice.

If this all sounds good to you (and I’m pretty sure it does), check out some more examples of “pornogami” after the jump. Since pornogami has the word “porn” in it, I think it’s safe to say that the images are NSFW.
