On the Hachimitsu to Clover page, it seems more like an understandably bewildered graphic artist was trying to reduce the impact of an arbitrarily obscured character by similarly treating the background and the other actors’ bodies.

Which gives me an idea… Perhaps in the future we will see more creative solutions, such as conveniently placed frosted windows, flowerpots, extended limbs, flagpoles and the like. If they’re only peering out past or through some other person or object, is that enough to allay JJ’s paranoia, I wonder?

The mini-mosaic’d images are pretty hilarious though.
Poor adult boy idols living semi-pixelated lives.

I liked that the mask was applied to their whole body, not just their faces. Like a total malaise.

I think if you really cared about bootlegging your own Johnny’s Images, you are not sitting around waiting for Johnny’s to finally crack on normal web usage. There are plenty of other ways to avoid buying bromides.

Even if I wasn’t obsessed, but merely wanted to print out my own version of either of those shots, I would just whip out my trusty standard-issue 5+ megapixel digital camera, walk into any major train station, and snap a close up shot of the poster.
What with printers here coming standard with card readers or other print-direct-from-camera features, I’d have a nice glossy picture to put up on my wall – all proceeds to my favourite electronic goods manufacturer, of course!

So yes, I completely agree with your last sentence.
