We all remember The Rasterbator, right? Where you can rasterize images to make them huge, print them out in tile format on sheets of paper, then hang them on your walls? We were always a little bothered by the grid necessitated by hanging many individual sheets of paper. Until, that is, we saw this wall:
Each sheet of paper has been cut with a curve in the bottom corners and hung in an overlapping pattern, which gives the wall the effect of shingles. Absolutely genious.

I love the overall look this gives. The one thing I would probably change would be to put very light backing to the pages so that they wouldn't flutter up every time someone walked by or opened the door to a gust of wind. And that would help preserve it so guests wouldn't accidentally crumple a page.
Does it look like to anyone else that the kids are in the beginning stages of doing the YMCA?
Very cool. BTW - those look like North Koreans to me. Any idea about where the picture came from?
That looks nice there but I don't know if I'd want to do that. I suppose it's a temporary project that can always be changed or removed! In that way I think it's a great thing to do to mix it up a bit.
I agree with ElaneB - it looks like a North Korean propaganda poster with pretty women doing calisthenics. I've seen it before, but I can't place it.
"Absolutely genious."
That is genius...
Thanks, kirstlambert, that's just what I was going to point out. :)
