I'm moving

I am updating links and whats not, but having separate accounts for my various blogs is annoying. I figured that I should move all my accounts into one supper account. It will be WAY easier to update things. So for what few followers I do have, come on over to http://ahhh-sea-monsters.blogspot.com/ where I will be setting up my new shop.

Do the Matisse-y!

I don't know why I forgot that it was the early big name artist, who inspired me to play with the idea of collage. I 'd like to blame Alex Katz for his simplistic imagery and then Matisse for aggreeing with my sensibilities in color.

For those of you who don't know, Alex Katz is one of the lesser known Pop artist, who played along with Warhol back in the 70's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_Katz]. These are his images:

And of course This Matisse's work:

Me thinks 'cyan blue' must have been a popular color back in the 1940's. Or maybe Matisse was color blind and the blue is supposed to be brown.

Last Panel Done

Yeah, all done with my calendar pages. Now its off to post production, and then PRINT!!!

Style Shift

So my caboose was running out of seam on Saturday, so I took the day off from studio to look up other cut paper/ collage artist. From that research and some terrible experiments, I think I have found some new light to shine on my calendar pages.

Hence,

Pages in Planning

Cover Band

Cover done! Now all I need a back, and some pages in between.

One of Many Months done

Since the theme for this be-lated calendar is "Technicolor Flora", what better way to show color than with a tropical plant like, Tillandsia.

*Psst the map in the back ground comes from Rome, and Paris, And Cartegenia. Most Awesomeness!
