I started a new collage, but having a tough time placing some of the pieces together. This resulted in a bunch of separate pieces that I'll eventually use.

The first picture is a work in progress by Airy. She asked my opinion, so afterwards, I went home and played around with Photoshop to show possibilities.

One of the other collage artist brought me an older medical book with great illustrations. I spent the day cutting out slices of hearts. I didn't finish anything, but played around with a few different arrangements.

Today was a little different because the space we regularly meet at was not available, so instead we informally met at Wicked Grounds cafe. It was just Jo and I, but I really liked the change in scenery.

Most of us were getting frustrated working in the library because of the disgusting bathrooms and not being able to have food or drinks. We have a new place working in an artist collective.

My nephew, Zane and I completed this small collaged artwork for my friend's birthday. We tag teamed by working for 10 minutes a piece. After several rounds using strips of white paper, magazines, glue, acrylic paint, and watercolor paint, the piece was finished.

Today my artist friends and I worked on our collages and then afterwards visited the top floor of the library to see two art shows. The first showcased local printmakers, while the second featured zines and was having its art opening. I was especially thrilled to see work by Coum Transmissions!

Everyone either flaked out or wasn't able to make it today, so it was just me. I worked slowly, but completed a silver background for a future project and worked laying out this collage I've worked on for some time. Next time, I'll glue everything down.

I was not very productive today. I cut out many things, but used none of them. I did peruse through magazines and tear out usable images.
