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.

Today it was Joe and I, which was nice to have a smaller group for once.  Finished this collage that was started at last month's meeting.  Added the tooth to this collage to finally finish it.  Joe's work in progress. His use of patterns and color is perfect. Today I cut out a few items from anatomical books. I already like what I'm starting with.    I started to help with Airy's collage. 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.   My proposal is formally sound, but lacks excitement.
Another day of collaging.  My work. I just need to glue it down.  Mark's work.  More of Mark's work.  Denise's work  More of Denise's work  Tobiah's work  Another view of Tobiah's work  Another artist's work. 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.  My work in progress.  Mark's continuing series on found objects.  Another of Mark's works  Without a doubt, my favorite of Mark's so far. I continue to cover my large substrate with torn black pieces. My artist friend Mark continues to explore his found object collages.  Mark's work  More of Mark's work  More of Mark's work  I'm working on a black background.

It was just Jo and I, but I really liked the change in scenery.  My work in progress.  Jo's work in progress 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 first collage of the day.  I finally finished this one. It's take me a long time to finally glue it all down.  Another of mine.  Sarah's work in progress  Mark's work in progress  Sherry's work for the day  Jo's work  Jo's miniature and meticulous work My friend Mark has been working on a small book where he only spends 5 minutes per page.

Ken's completed work.  Ken's other piece. It was an excellent day with artist friends creating collages.  My work in progress  Jo's work in progress  Ken's finished piece  Airy & Aaron's collage  Mark's 45 minute collage 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.  I didn't finish any work, but I sorted through my clippings and organized them. I also went through a large stack of magazines and tore out clippings.  Playing around with some ideas.  Mark's 45 minute collage from found materials on the street. 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!

Funny cause it looks like a finished piece!  Another of Airy's folders 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.
