So delighted to have found your channel! You are so talented, an inspiration. I’m new to collage, a retired musician looking for another way to channel my creative flow. Collage instantly appealed to me particularly after seeing the work of Romare Bearden. (Check out info about him and his work, it is AWESOME 😉 ) I look forward to seeing more of you videos and kudos to you!
I really like the cut and tuck you did…will definitely remember for my next page! Good tip about photography magazines/books as well…thank you! I have subscribed so I’ll see you in the next one👋🏼
So happy to see another collager on the tube. I have not done much on video for a few years because it sort of died out but have still been doing it on my own because it is so relaxing. will be watching for your new shares. I love how it came out!!!
I love surrreal collage and have played with it over at Lovely Day with Holly too!! I’d love it if you posted more collage videos and include more talking through the process vs sped up with music. 👏🏻👏🏻
Nice video! I subscribed! I want to give you a heads up rubber cement isn't exactly permanent. We used it in high school, and after many years, most projects fell apart. Maybe seal it with something that might help. Finding a wrinkle free glue is hard isn't it? I find fabritac or fabrifix (stinky like nail polish) doesn't wrinkle but it can hiccup and burp A xyron machine can turn images into stickers. Its a shame they dont make the big one anymore. Good luck with your glue search
Nice! Sometimes they just fall together, but some times it's struggle. Been doing digital collage for awhile but I'm getting itchy to try my hand at (nice music btw) analogue. I don't think I have done any real cutting pasting in a long time , like maybe way back in elementary school, a little in college (in the 90's) I didn't really get it until I really started just playing, having fun with it. Then it clicked. I like the video.
Nice work! I don't know that I have a preference in which one I like better. ?Do you find the finger craft knife to be good for detailed cutting, better than a long handled exacto knife? I've seen 2 brands - Fiskars & Excel. Which brand do you use?
Honestly if you use scrapes of pictures, I doubt a company would bother to attack an artist. In today’s world too many people are paranoid and into suing people. Ridiculous
Rubber cement is the worst. It will eventually (earlier than you think) release. It is highly toxic; I'm surprised it is still available. YES paste is NOT acid-free and archival like they claim. I had a paper conservationist test various adhesives and methyl cellulose and PVA are the best. They can be mixed 50x50% to make a good strong and reversible paste. Pva works best for magazines. I used glue sticks in a whole sketchbook of collages and a lot of them are coming loose. Acrylic medium, matte or shiny are good also. I've been doing collages and book arts for 40 years; so satisfying.
Collaging is a great therapeutic process! But you need to know that, unless you have a license to use those photographs, or permission of the copyright holder (generally the photographer), you do not have the right to sell your images. You do not own the copyright, so making money off of someone else's artwork when you've incorporated it into your own creation is considered intellectual property theft. It's definitely not ethical. It's how the original photographers make their living, and it's not okay to take that from them. You might consider doing it with your own photos, photos you have permission or a license to use, or work that is old enough so that the copyright law no longer applies.
@@kliggco Please don't believe this because it's not true. Collage artists have been making and selling their artwork for centuries and will continue to do so. There is nothing unethical about it. There's a ton of case law about this, so it's not a simple topic, but in general, if someone's photograph is not the main focus of your work or you transform their work into a new image, you can use it for things you sale. An example would be Richard Prince, a famous artist who's based his career off transforming other people's work. He finally went to far when he basically took people's photos off Instagram, added some words underneath, and sold it as his work. There was no transformative value. So definitely be leery of just believing what anyone says on the internet, even me. People like to pass on hearsay information. Research using copyrighted material in collage on actual legal or organizational websites. There are a lot available. Avoid discussion boards unless the person cites their sources and you verify what they're saying.
According to my research and talking to copyright lawyers the legal aspects are "murky". A magazine has a copyright statement, but I still use images and alter, tear, paint on top of, etc. My point of view is: are they going to hunt me down and find me. Some people claim that a certain percentage of an image can be utilized to make another artwork. That's not true either.
@@serenityjewel I'm basing what I wrote on the advice of a copyright attorney with California Lawyers for the Arts that I received a little over 30 years ago, related to a collage series that I had created at the time. I had mostly used photos from National Geographics too. If you're doing it for your own personal enjoyment, that is different from when you're selling your images. There is a question about how much of the other work you are using, and what percentage it is of your final piece that you can consider as part of it. If you are significantly altering and painting over the image, that may make a considerable difference. In relation to Richard Prince, his work raises serious ethical considerations, as well as legal ones. Do we want to create our work ethically? It's generally better to operate that way, but not everybody cares about how their work affects other artists, or listens to their conscience.
Dollar Tree sells a cutting mat in the craft section that's the perfect size. Approximately 7"x9".
Ooooh thanks!!!
Great seeing the thinking process. I liked the smokestack incorporated with the smoking woman
Your collage is very phenomenal, the mix of subjects are unique
Acrylic Medium acts as a perfect glue and also acts as a varnish. Two for one cant go wrong.

Only if your selling them for millions of pounds. Would anyone be interested in copyright rules.
So keep creating and selling.
