Knight

 This new piece is entitled "Knight of the Tail-Gunner" (7" x 7"). I really enjoyed using such saturated elements (even the grays).

Coordinated Diptych

"Collaborative" or "Coordinated"

 My good friend and fellow collagist Anthony Morgan and I are involved in another collage project. I'm not sure if we should call it a "collaborative" project, or a "coordinated" project. It's the third in a series of projects we have done for which we each use the same source materials and create independent compositions from all the potential elements. For the first project, we each used the same issue of Life magazine for our source materials and created a collage of the same size and orientation -- there were no other "constraints". For the second project, we used an issue of The Ladies Home Journal for our source materials. The cover of the particular issues was primarily a red-orange color, and I suggested that, in order to "connect" the compositions in some way, perhaps at least one of the compositional elements be from the red-orange cover. I have posted the finished collages in previous posts. For each of these projects, Toeny and I worked independently. That is, we did not see each other's compositions until both of us were done. For the current project, we each have two different issues of National Geographic from which to source our collage elements. For this project, we are producing a diptych (one panel for each issue, with no overlap). The photos below are some of the images from the issues of National Geographic. I think I will post the final product in a subsequent post)...
