If you still have old magazines that you definitely won't read (or maybe you haven't read at all, having limited yourself to viewing pictures, and you don't even know why you bought and save up this waste paper), you can safely take them to the trash heap if you not familiar with Christopher Coppers. This guy rips up prints like Vogue, Playboy, Glamor starting from the cover, so that they turn into a real work of art.
Christopher Coppers is a 25-year-old artist who tore up as many magazines as no shelf could hold. Apparently, he is pretty fed up with artificially created images that look at him from the covers, or just characters related to glamor, because after his processing, the faces on the magazine are practically invisible. But we see a kind of origami from the pages torn from the cover to the last page.
The artist uses different colors of the pages to achieve the effect, playing with them like a painter with a palette. Chris himself says that "in this society there is always at least a small magazine that I can pounce on." It is immediately evident that the guy approaches his business with humor, imagining himself, apparently, Jack the Ripper, only his victims are printed on glossy pages. Thus, it would be more correct to call it a magazine (or glossy) ripper!
Unfortunately, Christopher does not have his own site, but a huge number of covers processed by them are posted on his page on flickr. Christopher Coppers is another example of how to make something interesting out of scrap materials. Plus, creativity is the best way to deal with old magazines, rather than throwing a fat bale in a landfill.
