Not related: Thanks­giv­ing was nice. The but­ter­nut squash lasagna was deli­cious! My favorite part of Art Together, by far, is receiv­ing that email from the artist that con­tains our col­lab­o­ra­tion. Every­one has a dif­fer­ent way of han­dling this project, often in ways I didn’t expect. Thereza Rowe, for instance, built an entire series around the ...

I love char­ac­ters. I love geo­met­ric shapes and metic­u­lous appli­ca­tion of them. So, it’s really no shock that I am into the work of Julien Lan­gen­dorff. Julien’s images are paper cuts, rather sim­plis­tic but bright and col­or­ful mul­ti­fac­eted. I love see­ing all the lay­ers of paper cre­ate scales and a fluid, beau­ti­ful motion. All images ...

Lind­sey Gooden’s col­lages are over the top and a bit gra­tu­itous at times, but her psychedelic-inspired col­lages are an awe­some throwback. Lindsey’s prints are a com­bi­na­tion of hand-drawn ele­ments, col­lage, and dig­i­tal treat­ment. Her mark mak­ing varies, but the con­nect­ing thread is Lindsey’s use of women — they have a sense of care­free and free­dom ...

I’ve always enjoyed look­ing at John Audubon’ paint­ings of birds. They are roman­tic and have such a clas­sic beauty to them. Paul Morstad’s work is rem­i­nis­cent to this as well, albeit updated paint­ings of flora and fauna. Paul uses maps, birds, and objects that blend together seam­lessly. Every­thing is con­nected — the already made, the nat­ural ...

Molly Bosley is an artist after my own heart. Her body of work includes embroi­dery, col­lages, and even dio­ra­mas — a few of my favorite things right now. With their color and exe­cu­tion, I find her col­lages to be my favorite part of her portfolio. Molly’s has titled her 2010 body of work “The Nature ...

I love col­lage, that is no secret. So, upon view­ing the work of Bar­rett Cook, I was instantly drawn to his abil­ity to not only arrange ele­ments into a dynamic com­po­si­tion, but I love the geo­met­ric pat­tern­ing he is able to incor­po­rate from the source mate­r­ial as well. In many of Barrett’s col­lages, he dis­torts the ...

Ana Botezatu is a Romanian-based artist and illus­tra­tor with a degree in artis­tic ceram­ics. When the medium became too costly, she sought after mate­ri­als that were recy­clable and not nearly as expen­sive, but that still allowed for her to express her love of story telling. Ana incor­po­rates pho­tog­ra­phy into her work, and col­lages faces of ...

The sim­plic­ity and beauty in Nathalie Chikhi’s work is noticed instantly. Her knack for arrange­ment and orga­ni­za­tion of color and form are obvi­ous strengths in her min­i­mal­ist wall hang­ings, col­lage, and sculpture. I appre­ci­ate Nathalie’s use of non-precious mate­ri­als in her work. She uses Pop­si­cle sticks to cre­ate small scale assem­blages. In paper col­lages, she ...

Eleanor Rudge is an illus­tra­tor liv­ing out of Brighton, Eng­land. She’s worked for a vari­ety of clients, includ­ing Bon Iver (one of my favorites!). Her style that you see most often is a mix­ture of screen print­ing and dig­i­tal. But, some­thing I found through her Flickr were collages. I love that these col­lages are float­ing. ...

I’ve been a fan of Brandi Strickland’s work before we started col­lab­o­rat­ing in WAFA, a global artist col­lec­tive. Brandi is a col­lage and mixed media artist liv­ing in Rich­mond, Virgina. She has a really great way of uti­liz­ing what’s already out in the world — images from mag­a­zines and other printed sources. She mas­ter­fully mixes ...
