Masking tape redefined

Craft & Design

I'm a word nerd who loves to geek out on how emerging technology affects the lexicon. I was an editor on the first 40 volumes of MAKE, and I love shining light on the incredible makers in our community. In particular, covering art is my passion — after all, art is the first thing most of us ever made. When not fawning over perfect word choices, I can be found on the nearest mountain, looking for untouched powder fields and ideal alpine lakes.

A few years ago, PT introduced us to Australian artist BUFFdiss’ amazing masking tape graffiti. Checking out his Flickr stream, it’s cool to see how his style has progressed over time, and that he’s still making his signature art. Also check out this interview/profile that Upper Playground did of BUFFdiss, if you haven’t seen it yet. His take on bringing visual interest to urban decay is fascinating. Who knew masking tape could be so versatile?
