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.

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 |

| Deer Boy |
