Awesome Art

First, from Mark Khaisman: Brown Tape Art. Yes, he uses brown packing tape on plexiglass to create semi-translucent, sepia pictures, like light paintings. Some of the more detailed human subjects sort of amaze me.

Then from Crumbling Paper, classic comics, from the turn of the 20th century. Many of these are scanned from, literally, crumbling

I have been following Drawn! (by your recommendation) and some really great stuff pops up. The periodic tale is very awesome.

I have been reading art teacher blogs lately for ideas. This is really neat and will be great for my teen group. They can make installations all over the club. I think it would be cool to fill the figures with stuff too.

The periodic table is cool. I like Arsenic and Hafnium best.

Brown tape art is fascinating. They look like pieces of movie film to me.

Yes, now that you mention it, I agree completely. Like film. I wonder how much of that is the brown tones, and how much of that is the cinematic style of his composition. Are these modeled on actual film stills, do you think?
