Kollage Korner
Hello, friends! Sorry about the delay in posts. I guess you could say that I've just been exploring other creative avenues, lately, such as the fun and expressive pastime of collaging! I've dabbled with collage over the years in very small ways, but now I'm finally starting to work on a bigger scale. Ha! I say, "bigger scale", but for me that's only graduating to an 8-and-a-half " x 11" sized worksheet... Ah, well. You gotta crawl before you can walk, right? Maybe, someday, I'll be showing wall-sized canvas pieces in a gallery. You never know, it COULD happen!
That first piece you see up there I call, 'Moonlight Express', and the stars are actually all glittery (even though you can't tell from the scan I did). It's very simple, but that's what I was going for because it's also my most recent work, and I hadn't done any for quite a while previous.
This second piece I call, 'Vintage Rainbow', and in case you can't tell, those color bars are paint chips. I did it back in 2009 as part of an online contest/experiment thingy. Come to think of it, I don't think it was an actual contest because I don't recall a winner... Well, anyway, it was still fun just the same! And this remains one of my favorite pieces simply because it always makes me smile. The colors are cheery, and of course those vintage toys make me happy!
I plan to continue sharing my work with you here at Kollage Korner, so if you're interested, watch for it! Until next time... Keep on kuttin' up!

I love "Moonlight Express," and those glittery 3D stars really make it pop in person. I just made "Vintage Rainbow" my desktop image. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you, and your kreative kuttin'.
I love your collages, Anthony! Thanks for sharing them with us. For some reason, I always thought of collages as busy, busy, busy, having to cut out hundreds of pieces of art, then positioning them just so, so they won't cover up and hide something. But I think I prefer the simpler collages... I feel inspired by our art! :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony!!!

I like 'em.
I want to make something, too.
So sweet! Great job, Anthony :-).
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Of course, I got an Anthony Original way back in 1999, remember?? I can't wait to see more of your recent work - I know you've got a super-duper stash of vintage stuff to cut-n-paste to your heart's content! And Happy Birthday, Ringmaster :)
ReplyDeleteYour kool kollages kept me from kuttin' myself! Love the paint chips being used, can't wait to see more of your stuff!
