Another Use For Phantom Comics
For the comic book collector this may seem sacrilegious but for the avid up cycling junkie (like myself) I thought this was pretty cool. My brain is throughly trained to spot a bit of innovative recycling and lucky for me (and our environment) I see it everywhere.
Last week in Brisbane (Australia) while enjoying a pretty darn good vegetarian mushroom burger at a Cafe along Southbank Parklands, I noticed that the funky wallpaper was a collage of real comic book pages. I grew up reading Phantom comics, so I recognised some of these pages in amongst the collection.
It is not a printed wallpaper, up close the joins of each individual comic book page is visible.
The overall effect is striking and I love the aged colouring of the pages teamed with the inky black print.
Another cool project to store away in the ideas brain.
Until next time,

That's some darn good work there. But yes, the comic nerds are coming, they're coming for you :)
To be diplomatic, people who love comics too much to cut them up could photocopy them and do something similar.
Actually, I think they would appreciate it a lot, as long as it wasn't one dear to their heart. Downgraded comics could be used in this way, and I do like it visually.
you can technically downgrade a piece of paper by using coffee stains it works with photocopy too. I would appreciate most the original comic too though as I did recently when I was making a collage.
good work there. uped.
Very true! I doubt anyone would like to see their own comic books used this way, but we can all admire someone else doing it.
Yeah, it's a nice idea.
that is really AMAZING! and well done on the up-cycling!
