Description THIS IS NOT A PAINTING!

Full View strongly recommended.

This is a collage.. that took me.. many, many, many hours. I think I completed itin, probably.. 100+ hours or so, over the course of about.. four months. I had so many paper cuts after I was finished. Not to mention all of the poor magazines I destroyed..

It's about 15" x 9"

Thank you! I ran out of blue in my magazines! So about the eye I couldn't make a smooth transition. That is the only part I don't really like.

I started mine last night!I am like 20% done in 3 hours. It is looking really neat. It looks like a painting, maybe done by Van Gogh.

It's not another eye, but another massive collage.

I started tonight! I have the outline drawn. I went through 7 magazines and ripped out a bunch of pages but I will probably need more. Total time - about an hour and half so far. What will take long in the cutting and gluing.

yeah? i had to do a colleague for a class, probably half that size, aand it took me like 4 weeks
but i wanted so bad to just.. cut out a huge piece and finish it off real fast
you must have incredible patience, and a paper-cut tolerance like... i dont even know
what did you use for glue? my problem was the stuff kept drying clumpy and gross and it didnt even photograph well because it glossed it over :'(

TheJader In reply to psstoff995 [2007-10-19 04:40:06 +0000 UTC]

I use just a plain ol' glue stick to get them down, and then I coat the pieces with a paper sealer. Mod Podge (matte finish).

skullmage550 In reply to TheJader [2007-10-27 03:52:35 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking of using Mod Podge on mine after I was done! I have never used it though.... Do you just "paint" it on?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

TheJader In reply to skullmage550 [2007-10-27 05:19:54 +0000 UTC]

Yes, make sure you paint it very thin, and don't go over one spot too many times. If you do, the magazine paper will tear.

skullmage550 In reply to TheJader [2007-10-27 13:02:47 +0000 UTC]

Okay, thanks! I will try on a scrap piece of paper a few times, so I get it right.

At first I thought it was a painting, but then I saw your comments, fullviewed it and thought, "Well good grief! Collage almight!" Heh. Nice work. I used to be obsessed with dragons once. Especially while reading Eragon and Eldest.

That is... wow.

I wish I had a tenth of your patience; I have like 50 unfinished drawings waiting for me (and I'll probably never get to them) and they're nowhere near as complicated as that.

I love the color, I love the way it blends together, and I can't imagine how much time you spent in that! Seriously, you must have some sort of buddhist monk's training...
