I found it interesting that this was hosted on a GE web site. Obviously they were impressed with the detail he put into the engines.

  That he has any press whatsoever is a grand thing. I honestly know folks that spend as much time promoting themselves as they do working on artwork. I in no way thing that is what this man has done. Now, more specifically, GE or any company as such: Considering the scope of this man's research and skills, they may or may not be interested in the artistic side of his skills. This is a man who has studied engineering, has spent numerous years looking at the details of airplane design, and has constructed delicate, movable parts alongside support bearing parts for that airplane ... out of freaking paper. This project could be the antithesis of art. It could be the most hideous thing you or I have laid eyes on. But nevertheless, it took serious dedication and attention to detail. The man worked with a material to the full potential that he has been able to do and designed parts. I can seriously see why this man would wind up working for GE. The artwork is a secondary but very complimentary skill. Personally, I would absolutely love this man to get that and use it to, in part, fund his artistic career. Imagine if he took his skills and was more free with them. He could make impressive futuristic and surrealistic scenes with these skills. Miniature worlds, movie models, and so on. (Full disclosure: I'm an artist, of the sort that doesn't make much money from my work. If I were rich, I'd fund my own art fun to a larger degree.)
