    i had to print these all seperately, but as u can see, all together it paints up the image. i just contoured around it and did a dye cut of it to elminate the remanin background. And I took some maskin' tape and put some on the back to hold each one together. yea like fnt, its better just to screen print repeatable posters an such.

    He taed the pieces together so it was easier to put up with the wheatpaste. He didn't tape it to a wall.

    Oh i know.....but like the parts that have tape on them, wont be saturated in paste....so it will have weak spots for it to be torn down....

    newspaper's will sell you the ends of gigantic rolls of paper that they can't use for really cheap. never tried it, but I've heard it works. Also office supply and art stores carry newsprint paper which is great, but not as big as newspaper's, bigger than 2 1/2 feet x 2 1/2 feet

    the clear kind or laser jet paper
    i heard the laser jet paper blows
    is it the glossy kind?
    or did you get the clear plastic sheet?
    either way nice job
    office depot near my house so easy to rack from
    i could prolly go in there with a book bag or a friend with a messenger bag
    load up several packs of paper
    they charge 30 bucks for like 25 sheet of it!!!
    but yeah they are totally oblivious
    my friend jacked some hundred dollar software from them!!!!!

    well its not just regular tape..its more like that package tape..maskin tape i think its called? i dont know, but it works though. Shepard Fairy did with his Andre Face over the Mayor of Rhode Island. He had to use tape to put all the pieces together and wheat paste it up.

    Oh masking tape? That will hold up well, and it works, i thought you were using like scotch tape haha....well yeah but the tape will prevent the wheatpaste from sticking to the wall at where its on....that make sense? Like whatever the tape is sticking too....that area its covering wont be saturated in paste in the back and wont stick....i suggest coating the back of the tape too with paste too!

    i wouldnt tape the back...i watched a vid frm a link on the first page and they used clear scotch tape on the front so wheat paste could cover the back completley!
