I've always wanted to do stuff with masking tape but don't relaly have the skills to do so. These guys take masking tape and create Japanese letters out of them by cutting them out carefully. Looks very cool and neat

His transient tape art became so popular that film artist collective <A href="http://trio4.at.infoseek.co.jp/">TrioFour</A> eventually made a documentary about Sato’s unique guide system. PingMag talked to TrioFour member Hikaru Yamashita about the making of their “The Shinjuku Gaffer Tape Guide” and their <A href="http://trio4.at.infoseek.co.jp/info/index.html">current exhibition</A> of Sato’s work in Koenji.</STRONG></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pingmag.jp/2007/08/30/gaffer-tape-guide/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/pingmag.jp/img/FEBCEC26-3A37-4117-BEE4-A4D78D78C91C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://pingmag.jp/2007/08/30/gaffer-tape-guide/"></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/21B8BFB5-878B-4EFE-BD3F-12C7DA49E9C1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
