What do medical research, Lady Gaga, duct tape sculptures, Spiderman, fashion, and the Olympics have in common?
That's right, they're all on the aforementioned list of adhesive tape related trend subjects!
As seen in these creative examples, I'm sure the inventor of “tape†never imagined it as an art medium, marketing ploy, or masking accessory all at the same time.
Implications - It's hard to imagine it now, but with tape art or duct tape accessories, you'll soon see why adhesives are just as good as any material to make an artistic statement. Perhaps it'll even inspire you to pick up some unused tape and make something amazing or unusual out of it. As long as you're creative, the possibilities are endless!
