Hot Stuff & Other Art
Hot Stuff, paper collage, 2022 Here is a fresh batch of artwork. As with some previous posts, I’ve included music for your listening pleasure as you scroll through this collection, beginning with Hot Stuff. I chose Roxy Music’s “More Than This” because the song started playing as I was making The Way You Look Tonight…

Bedtime Stories & Other Art
Bedtime Stories, paper collage, 2022 Here are some new experiments in collage art. Overall, I’m satisfied with this selection, though at first, I didn’t care much for Bedtime Stories. It has, however, grown on me considerably over the past week. I hope you enjoy these. Select prints are available in my shop. I’ve also added…

The Other Side of the Rainbow & Other Art
The Other Side of the Rainbow, paper collage, 2022 Here’s a fresh batch of artwork. I discovered a mini recipe booklet for 50 classic cocktails inside of a vintage Better Homes & Gardens magazine. And the images were just too good; so, you’ll find some boozy collages in this collection (and probably in future collections,…

Jazz & Flowers
Jazz & Flowers No. 1, paper collage, 2022 When I started making paper collages, I didn’t know how to embrace the medium. I would find myself getting frustrated that my work looked so much like cut paper–too much like cut paper, if that makes sense. I wanted my work to have a polish, an aesthetic,…

Cosmic & Other Art
Cosmic, paper collage, 2022 I was listening to an 80s playlist as I scanned this batch of artwork. When Billy Idol’s Eyes Without a Face started playing, it heightened the mood of these collages for me, so I thought I’d include it in this post. I recommend listening to the song as you scroll through…

Imaginary Conversations & Other Art
Imaginary Conversations, paper collage, 2022 Here’s a fresh batch of artwork. All of these collages are minimal. In fact, Photographic is the only one that’s more than two pieces. When I first started my collage practice, I focused on combining lots of pieces, with filling the page with random and/or juxtaposing images. But I’ve since…

Another Heart Breaks & Other Art
Another Heart Breaks, paper collage, 2022 As a general rule, I am not good at titling artwork. Poetry is easy: the title seems to happen organically (most of the time). But with regard to collage art…forget it. Unless a phrase or concept arrives in my mind while I’m creating–which almost never happens–I typically resort to…

The Jungle
The Jungle, collage on vintage postcard, 2022 Man strives toward reason only so that he can make rules for himself. Life itself has no rules. That is its mystery and its unknown law. What you call knowledge is an attempt to impose something comprehensible on life. C. G. Jung As you may know, I don’t…

Honey Baked & Other Art
Honey Baked, paper collage, 2022 Here is a new batch of artwork. Overall, I’m satisfied with these. Each of these collages takes me to a kind of nostalgic “happy place”. Please enjoy.

Fly Girl & Other Art
Fly Girl, paper collage, 2022 I haven’t done much in the way of collage-making over the past few weeks. On several occasions, I tried, but inspiration was at a minimum. An observation: At any given time, I can either see the possibility in everything or the possibility in nothing. That is, there are days when…
