Montage-a-google is a simple web-based app that uses Google's image search to generate a large gridded montage of images based on keywords (search terms) entered by the user.
A click on any image (max 20 images, scattered with dups over a 9x12 grid) takes you to the source of the image.
The grid size can be fiddled with, as can other features using the "advanced" mode.
You'll need Flash player version 8 (or up) to run the app.
If you want to save your results, use [alt][print scrn] (if you use a PC -- don't talk to me about Mac stuff) to copy the image. Then pop the image into your photo app with ^V and clear the bits you don't want before printing.
You'll wind up with something like this [click image to enlarge]:
Not bad for a first try. I could've trimmed the edges better but I won't go back and fiddle some more because at some point conscientiousness veers into compulsiveness and we're not exactly creating lasting art here.
