I can't even wrap up a parcel with tape without getting yards of it stuck in my hair, on the cat and so forth. Hence Duct Tape Drawings by Joe Girandola totally blow me away.

Joe was classically trained as a stone carver in Italy but now concentrates on [three-dimensional drawings and paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) using a variety of materials. And one of his medium of choice is Duct Tape. The clever man also uses [various colors of tape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magnetic-folklore) reflects.
