More stylish than a locomotive, able to provide a welcome rest in a single sit, its a bird, its a plane its...the League of Justice chair!
Once a plain jane Steelcase chair rescued at the
UW Swap this spring, its modern lines, great condition and that back stem, were all screaming for a good re purpose. It sat in my garage for about 4 month until I starting thinking comics.
Coincidentally, my brother in law Darren had recently bought a 1000 piece lot at a garage sale and he, well maybe my sister in law, was more than happy to give me a dozen.
I didn't have brothers, so was never really in to the comic book world, but I love the saturated colors and crazy graphics. Wow, some of these books are quite racy too. I stayed with right angles on all the cuts, thought it would add to the lines of the chair. That and a few nights gluing while Nate and I watched the season one DVD's of HEROES (I know quite ironic) and my mission was complete.
The League of Justice chair has been coated with several coats of poly so although it cannot stop bullets, it is quite functional as well as eye catching. Polished silver tube legs make this chair a welcome spot for your inner super hero.
Coming Monday.....the second installment of my Hippie Christmas challenge. Its a cool one.

Fun!!
Oh, I SO love the chair! Very, very cool!. If you don't mind, I think I'm going to borrow your idea. I have 2 identical chairs that I sprayed the seat/back black. I never was happy with them (BORINGGGGG...zzzz). I don't have any comis, so I'll probably use board game $$. What glue did you use to adhere your paper?
I used plain old Mod Podge.
You're a superhero, and have to say your sister in law must fall in the category, too.
