Every artist should examine themselves with collage. Whether you share it with others or not it gives one time to think about how they see the odds and sods of their thinking.
Some ATCs
Actually this is about as neat as it all gets
This project started in the pages of my art history book, then a blank sketch book, where one part with a continuos narrative remains, off to a blank scrap book, then I discovered one of the greatest inventions ever, the ProClick system of a hole punch with a reusable snap together spine. This allows me to work on art paper I've trimmed down. It also allows easier deconstruction incase I need to redo a collage or move it elsewhere. While most of the ingredients have been scanned and printed from the computer I still like the idea of working with traditional ephemera. Quite a few of the images were found on the internet at sites that showcase photoshopping skills.
This is a personal book and will never be for sale.
Title pages
This began with a Madame Alexander doll ad roughly how for 7 decades they had been passed down from generation to generation, at times very reluctantly. It began with the Beatles and their look alike sons and expanded to include Bee Gees, Led Zeppelin, and Dvid Bowie
Incase you're wondering the drawings come from a book called Donkey-Donkey by Roger Duvoisin and it really is a must read for everyone as Donkey learns to value himself for what he is.
Chocolate pudding, when did I have chocolate pudding? Saw it on a meme and thought it would make a good thought for someone lost in theirs. The drawing on the right hand page come from European catchpenny prints, an old man won't take any amount of money for his dog, a weasel and a rabbit fight over a hole and go to a cat for advice, the cat eats them.
Why is that Zeppelin flying over our house? Something about the woman's legs and Led Zeppelin just work together.
The more you know about what went in to the rock opera Tommy the more frightening it gets.
