Art projects using comics?

[amircat]

I recently bought boxes and boxes of comics (not valuable ones) and am thinking of doing an art project with it for fun during down times. Anyone have suggestions?

cutting tiny cubes and forming a picture from them, pasting pages on your bathroom wall - a couple did that to National Geographic issues back in the 90s. Do a warhol type thing but instead of the same photo, choose a character and choose him/her in different poses, or choose a character and use various drawings of him - one drawing per artist to see how the different artists drew him over the years - that actually sounds good and I might do it one of these days. Like a "over the years" piece.

Choose a really disturbing scene - LOEG TP 2 maybe, and make it into a proper puzzle (don't just cut it into puzzle pieces. A thin puzzle isn't fun).

Cut panels and paste them together to form a new comics, or cut characters AND word/thought baloons and create a different comic altogether. You might have Batman with some indy comics dialogue. Batman will talk about how good the shoes at the mall look or something like that.

You can take a drawing and make it bigger and turn it into a cardboard stand thingy - the type people take pictures next to.

You can use them for commentary about current affairs - sexuality, wars etc, by pasting them on walls like graffiti. Small and stealthy "fuck with your mind" gorilla warfare, man. Like Cap punching a nazi and having a word baloon from a different comics.

You can also bind them and donate them to a library or children's hospital.

Wallpaper.

Cover the walls, ceiling, and floor of one of the rooms in your home.


AND RECORD YOUR SELF DOING THIS FOR OUR ENJOYMENT.

Making CD covers and fake photo albums, but it needs to be the right size. Make a collage. Take word and thought baloons and turn them into books, or add some of the art and turn them into children's books.
