Although art software has turned digital collaging into a popular pastime (especially if you want to create grand post-apocalyptic scenes), it’s rare to stumble across a classic paper and glue collage online. Mike Alcantara pays tribute to comic book characters by cutting up comics and turning them into collages, each rooted to a central text or image.
Alcantara says his images are made from nothing but comics–no paint, no markers, just the ink already printed on paper. You can follow his latest pieces on Facebook, and occasionally he puts individual canvasses up for sale on Etsy.
