Several years back I worked for an auction house and during one of their ephemera (aka old paper/magazine’s) sales I was introduced to a whole world of amazing old images. Some were true relics–Victorian newspapers from the 1800′s–others were National Geographic’s ranging in dates from the 70′s through to the 90′s. These amazing old pictures got the wheels in my head turning, and got me bidding and winning in true old timey auction style, it was kind of exhilarating!
Since then I’ve become a magazine, picture, and ad collector as well as a picture taker, and subsequently a collage maker.
I’ve been sporadically making this stuff for years but somehow, only recently, did it reoccur to me to put it all on my blog.
I’ve always thought to myself, “Hmmf, well I’ve made this collage, now what the heck do I do with it?”
I suppose this blog is the answer to that question often posed and left hanging unanswered in the air.
Enjoy.
