{     cutandpaste07     }    

Random wall (or not so random since high up there sits an original Banksy...), not random city (London), interesting experiment on display. Cutandpaste07 is an original art contest that puts a twist into paste-ups. White paper and glue are still into the picture but the idea now is to be creative framing something inside a given silouette, cut out from a sheet of white paper.

In words it sounds pretty weird but have a look at the pictures and you will get the point.
Spreading quickly all over London, the contest is open to anybody anywhere: just cut, paste, snap a photo, submit and you could win 1000 British money. Not bad uh? Or if you are lazy, just browse the pictures already uploaded and vote for the best

Since cutandpaste07 is sponsored by apparel brand Boxfresh, the silouettes given are trousers, hoodie, trainers and girlie tee shirt and you can either print them out at home, pick them up from the London shop or get them from the likes of Vice Magazine and other publications.

Any size, from tiny to huge, is allowed, entries are unlimited and the contest runs from August 1st to September 30th. And you do not even really need to paste anything if you do not want to... The organizers make a point to invite contestant not to damage others' property with the posters (erhm... I doubt that will go too well) but I want to hope that the dog of the poster above (someone's private property for someone...) has not been glued to hold the poster up...

Have fun!
