I haven't posted in a while, as I am preparing for the
Surtex show which is May 17 - 19. For the first time this year I will be showing collage work in addition to my "design" work. I have generally kept these worlds separate - my collage being the work I do to explore imagery and techniques without a particular outcome in mind, and design being what I do for a living - painting images, scanning them, and making them into artwork that can be used on commercial products such as paper goods, fabrics, ceramics, etc. My two worlds seem to be converging a bit, and I am excited to find out if there is interest in my collage at Surtex this year. This Coffee Collage was done using painting, collage and digital manipulation. Oh, and sewing.
