Hey all. I'm posting a link from a good friend of mine, TapeSweatandTears made. He wanted me to post it for him since he doesn't know this site very well. It's an awesome time lapse video of him making a storm trooper portrait out of duct tape.

Enjoy!

Hey guys I'm the one who made this, I love your feedback and the fact that people are watching my video.
The original artwork is by no means mine, just something i found on google. While I did call it a "portrait" in the video, it will ultimately end up as one side of a lunch bag I am making for school use. As for pulling off the pieces, I usually remove it by small amounts at a time, then pick it up by several places to make sure it doesn't fold into itself.
If you guys like my stuff, feel free to subscribe to my channel, I'll have a video of all the stuff I've made up soon.

I guess the benefit of the duct tape was to make it more solid/longer-lasting? Wow that seems like a mind-blowing amount of work just to reproduce it in a slightly less pretty way.

Props for both works though. Just incredible.

How do you pull the pieces off without getting them folded over and stuck to themselves?

As a man who has made his fair share of things out of duct tape, I appreciate this

That was a lot of duct tape. Really sweet portrait though, never thought to use tape as an art medium before. Good thing is that it is waterproof :D
