Munch's The Scream in cardboard boxes

Mark Langan spent 90 hours cutting up and arranging the boxes for his remarkable copy of the famous painting by Edvard Munch.
He used a craft knife to cut up 30 square feet of cardboard taken from five boxes and layered them to create a  three-dimensional image, informs telegraph.co.uk. Remaining scraps of corrugated cardboard were put through a heavy duty paper shredder and mixed with glue to create a pulp.
Mark smeared this onto the cardboard and used his fingers to add detail to the picture, which measures 2.25 inches deep and  sold for 1,600 pounds.
The Scream made the headlines in 2004 when masked gunmen stole it from the Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. It was recoved in 2006 and went back on display in 2008 after its damage was repaired.
Mark, from Ohio, United States, started to make art out of cardboard after a medical condition in his wrist made it difficult  to hold a pen or paintbrush.
