Omigod. Isn’t life hard enough? : )
why?
Whoa. Ridiculous.
Cool, but why the moire pattern? Printers took pains to avoid them back in the day.
Why, why, why?
That’s bizarre. I hope they’re having fun doing it.
On a somewhat unrelated note: why is the person gripping the marker like that in the second photo? To the point where their finger is painfully bending backwards and turning red around the nail bed? Intense concentration? Crippling carpal tunnel?
Interesting stuff, but something I would never partake in.
I think it’s really neat. The effect is disorienting.
when you love something enough, it drives you to no limits. i say good for these guys. i think it’s a great process.
