Collage

I've been busying away with collage for college.  I never considered collage as a means of image making that I would be interested in but I really enjoy it.  Once you have done the time-consuming part of sourcing and cutting out your images, it becomes a really fun and therapeutic game of putting the images together to create something new and unexpected.

Collaging (can be messy!)


I think the real benefit of collage - for an illustrator - is to improve their skills of composing images.  Composition is such an important part of good illustration, and with collage you can quickly see what's working and what's not.

Here are a few of my collages:


Carnival

Gazing


Geisha Fan

Deer Boy


Seeing Stars


Body



Look Out



Melted
