Collages!

During the summer of 2010, I felt the urge to keep making and yet I didn’t want to labor over any drawings or paintings. My junior year was exhausting (as everyone else’s was), and the last thing I wanted to do was stress out over art projects. The following collages were more therapeutic than tiring, and I love getting lost in the process of repetitive mark making, or in this case - paper cutting!




The photos utilized for this Star Wars collage were all collected from a Maxim magazine. My dad thought it would be funny, and would embarrass me if he got a free subscription to Maxim for me. Well, it was ... but it was a hit with my room mates. Anyway, the Maxim was awesome for collaging because the images are random, bright, and have vivid colors.




This neon horse collage was again made from Maxim spreads, but this time I overlaid an image from National Geographic.

I want to keep producing collages in the future, and maybe use some of my own photographic prints for material.
