stuck on you

By way of introduction, I should say that every time I see, hear or say the words "stuck on you" I think of how my sister and I used to beg our dad for the keys and run out of church every Sunday to sit in the car and listen to the number one song on Casey Kasem's Top Forty Countdown -- which, for an absurdly long time, was Lionel Richie's Stuck on You. We'd sit there, wagering on what it would be this week, tense in the unbearable anticipation and when Casey finally revealed it as number one, AGAIN, Polly and I would groan, roll our eyes, and sing along in the graveliest, lowest, goopiest voices we could muster at ages 8 and 10. There's absolutely no way to convey this in print, but the odds are pretty good we looked like this (only fifteen years younger) while we sang it:

I got an email today from a friend that had photos of this amazing artwork in it, all of which was apparently made from scotch tape.

His stuff is AWESOME! I haven't been this excited about artwork in a while -- and I'm just seeing photos! So I'm posting some of them for you here, but I recommend checking out his site (http://www.xmarkjenkinsx.com/) and browsing through it yourself. I guarantee you'll smile.
