Print Envy: Plastikcomb Magazine

/A metaphor for collage

There's a lot to love about the new issue of Plastikcomb, the bi-annual analog art publication from Aaron Beebe and {ths}, but the feature with collage idol John Gall is pure *chef's kiss*.

And if you’re wondering where the name comes from …

Plastikcomb is actually a metaphor for collage. In the States, when it was picture day, you were handed a plastic comb, in which your current hairdo was styled to make you look “presentable,” and more than often you ended up looking like a completely different person. Like collage, you take an image, and make it something else, or perhaps give it a new purpose or meaning.” – Aaron Beebe
