Nintendo Power magazines used to create art

Nintendo Power magazines used to create art photo
     Nintendo

I used to make collages back in high school. I liked reading tortured french poets, so I decided to do a montage to one using pages from the bible as my medium. I wish I still had it so I could look back and laugh at my teenage melancholy. I would have been emo then, except it didn't exist yet (thankfully.)

This gentleman's collages are way cooler that the fruits of tortured youth -- by using pages from Nintendo Power, he creates game-themed collages that would dress up your gaming room quite nicely. He'll do custom work, so if you want a 30" X 20" of Dodongo choking on a bomb, he can do it. That size will set you back about $250.

Should you want to get your collage on (vicariously, anyway,) check out Chris Lange's store at Etsy

I'm waiting another 6 months - 2 years before these are out in Europe, at twice the price.

It's impressive, but why charge a premium price for Nintendo Power when you can do the same thing with most magazines?

i wonder how many nintendo power issues he has laying around? and things like this make me feel like the most uncreative person on earth.

nice work though.

Another great Colette post. I love collage and I don't love emo(the music and the kids) so this post offers me a lovely balance.

And I guess the guy sticks to Nintendo Power because it just don't work the same with Power Jugs or Leg Rub magazines.
