Cut and Paste

One of my favourite things to do (after I've poured myself a cup of tea of course) is delve into a huge pile of magazines armed with a pair of scissors and a glue stick. So many images catch my eye and serve as inspiration for creating collages such as the two below.

My favourite collage/montage at the moment artist is Nazario Graziano; his pieces are bright and bold, with a 3D feel to them. They are pretty amazing, check out his work here. 

Summer Birdy Collages

Being a typical student, I have oodles of time to do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING right now. So, I have decided to make the most of my free time and create some A5 sized collages to then frame and (try to!) sell. Here are a few of my favourite:

Montage

A recent uni project was to digitally create a number of montages expressing emotions which were picked at random. I got 'depressed', 'nervous' and 'fearful', and these are the final images I came up with:

Night Time Running

I haven't been able to go running as much as I would have liked to during the past two weeks due to the huge amount of coursework that has been gradually piling up... but as of Monday I'll be back!
This is a really simple and quick drawing using a wash of paint, some magazines and the easiest tool on Paint possible! You can see the Law Hill, mist over the Tay Bridge and the route I take from the red flats (where I live) through town.

Cold Summer

Here is a quick collage I made over the summer, inspired by a small collection of things: the Olympics this year, the coast in Northern Ireland (swimming in the water - freezing!), things like ice cream that was too cold to eat, but it was summer so we ate it anyway.
