I just returned from the annual Joint Mathematics Meeting. There are two major 
mathematics organizations in the US. The AMS (American Mathematics Society) and 
the MAA (Mathematical Association of America). Together they hold a joint 
(combined) meeting in January. There is a mathematical art exhibition which 
features mathematical art of all sorts. This year a middle high school teacher 
submitted a dodecahedral 11 hole torus based on Snapology. And it won one of 
the major prizes! His name is David Honda. I met with David and his work is 
absolutely amazing. I am including links to his winning artwork as well as to 
his blog. I did not know of him until about a month before the meeting.

In addition to David, Ekaterina Lukasheva won honorable mention for one of her 
designs. So two out of the three prizes went to origami-related art work!
