Certainly an interesting way to use Scotch tape. The detail is pretty good considering the nature of the material used.

most of these are from an art project based in new york. they take figures (like dolls) and cover them in saran wrap. then they use clear packing tape to completely cover the figure over and over again. then you just take a box cutter and remove the form. its pretty easy actually

It’s called scotch tape, regardless of the brand, kinda like how they call all soft drinks “coke” down south.

Actually Anton, they call this packaging tape, not scotch tape. Scotch tape refers to a completely different type of tape altogether. Scotch tape wouldn’t be applicable for this kind of a project on a count of the fact that the hold isn’t strong enough, not that it even matters. This is post modernism in action, nice post.

It’s regional people. Where you’re from determines the common names for common things. You’re engaging in a pointless argument. Everyone knew pretty much what they meant, though, eh? The forms are very well done, the placement ingenious.

Scotch Tape denotes the line of adhesive tapes manufactured by 3M as part of the company’s Scotch brand.
The precursor to the current tapes was developed in the 1930s by Richard Drew to seal a then-new transparent material known as cellophane[1]. Although it is a trademarked brand name, it is often used in the US and elsewhere as a generic term for transparent adhesive tape.
Use of the term “Scotch” in the name has a pejorative origin. To cut costs 3M applied the adhesive only to the edges of the tape. A remark was made by a St. Paul automobile detailer[citation needed] that the stingy Scotch bosses needed to put more adhesive on it, and the name has stuck ever since. Scotty McTape, a kilt-wearing cartoon boy, was the brand’s mascot for two decades, first appearing in 1944. The familiar plaid design was introduced in 1945.
The Scotch® brand and Scotch® Tape are registered trademarks of 3M.

Let’s all be immature assholes and argue about the idiosynchracies of regional dialects and the exact name of the type of tape rather than discussing the artwork itself, like good, mature internet users.
Seriously, folks. This is why I have given up on this generation and this country.

While my ancient computer was downloading the pictures I read the comments. Havent even seen the pictures yet but this is the funniest forum Ive ever read. The funniest thing is the people who are peed off but still waste their time reading the whole thing. I read the whole thing because I was LMAO and couldnt stop. what would you say if I told you that here in MN we call all sof drinks “soda pop”. That one oughta bake your noodle. Seether gave me a brain aneurysm. There should be a website dedicated to collecting the funniest forums. I’m laughing so hard that I’m crying and need a kleenex, or tissue, or snot rag, whatever the heck it’s called.

Scotch tape, packing tape, cellophone, saran wrap, pop, soda, flavored sodawater, fizzy juice
My question is if its tape or wrap, how does he keep the structure rigid. Or are they actually very fragile and could collapse easily. I know several layes of tape will reinforce itself somewhat but didn’t think it would have that much structural integrity.
Regardless I like them, ingenious!. Now I am going to have to try doing it myself. Shrinkfilm, a hairdryer to shrink it taut and then packing tape (4″ wide, less work).
