    You'll recognize the photo albums in Jacob Intilé's studio. Lots of people have them - the kind with the cardboard pages inside covered by plastic that sticks uncomfortably; over time, everything starts to yellow and decay. They're usually crammed with old family photos or yearbook pics. But in Intilé's world, the same albums are carefully arranged page by page with cutouts of vegetal tendrils; pictures of hands; geometric pieces of constellations, animal bones, birds.

    Everyone collages every day. Think about getting dressed: Layers - some seen, some unseen. Putting on makeup: Layers. Making a bed (if you are so inclined): Layers. Putting food on a plate: Layers - don't forget the sauce! Putting pillows on the couch, a blanket over a loved one, a group HUG. Hugs to you all! All Collagists!

    first i wonder why this is on my recommendation. then i heard "i cant paint, i cant draw". im struggling to find ways to do art. i cant paint, i cant draw, but i have everything inside my head that i need to let out. and this video just give me the alternative. maybe i'll start collaging.

      You should do it! I'm a photographer but have recently been making collages and it is SO freeing and fun and you can just let your creativity run wild. All you need is some paper, an exacto knife, scissors and some glue and you can have fun for hours! And of course some magazines.

      This is exactly why I'm looking into collage art. I can't paint I can't draw, I can't write or make music, but I have this massively creative mind and I want to get my thoughts and ideas out but can't express myself. I think collage may help me here. But is it illegal to use other people's photos and art work In my artwork? Like...how does that work?

    I am 66 and have worked in collage since the late 70s. I like to produce a collage or drawing by hand and then scan it into the computer and make changes to the piece digitally. Art is taking chances. And collage allows you to take chances more easily.

      I’m your age, I love doing collage, I have been collecting sources for images for years. I am at a point where I have a bit more time to dedicate to the art and harvest images from this plethora of resource. I have considered trying to augment my income from some created pieces. Since you have been doing this for so long I thought maybe you could answer a question that has been on my mind for quite some time concerning the sale of any of these pieces. Am I stealing from the original artist for my own creation? And even though it has been separated from its original context am I in any potential legal peril should one of my pieces get “famous”? Thanks for any insight that you might share.

    Holy shit I've never resonated with an artist like this in a lonnnnng time. I have tonssss of paper cut imagery all seperated in acrylic drawers and do this exact same thing (Not nearly as amazing as this man) on canvas. I use other mediums in my collages as well, but uggghhh I have tears in my eyes over this man's work! I have permanent claw hand from cutting things out and have cancelled plans to listen to music and cut cool shit from Harpers Bazzaar and Rock & Gem magazines. The piece that totally got me is when he said that he remembers the emotion and where he was at in life with each piece. Ugh my heart. Thanks for reading my essay. 555

    Beautifully done...and eased my mind just watching you create it. I guess I won't throw all my clippings away yet....I need to put them out there if even just for me!
