Old Collages →

Lots of old library books. An early, futile stab at developing a “style”. Most of these designs will no doubt pop up in new work.

Sketchbook →

New techniques and tools means old sketches are back in rotation. Most of these have been converted to coloring book pages with Colorscape.

Art Lab 8

These remixes are less involved than most of the previous exercises. I took one of my Flat Black Circles pieces and bombarded it with Canva, GIMP, and Snapseed filters.

I’m surprised by how much I like these designs. I’ll be giving other drawings the same treatment; maybe even print a few.

From Wikipedia: “Cubomania is a Surrealist technique of making collages by cutting an image into squares and reassembling without regard for the original image at random to create something new.”

Let’s go…

Old collage of mine…

…photocopied…

…torn into 16 pieces and randomly arranged.

Canva filter.

Canva filter.

Canva filter and…

…Canva filter-colors picked at random.

Snapseed filter.

Snapseed filter.

Snap. Seed Filter.

I could do this all day.

More low-rent remixing type experimentation. Using the Colorspace app, I’ve converted some reference photos for my drawings to coloring book pages, then tweaked them with a Canva filter.

Here’s the third phase of remixing experiments with my old digital collages and the Colorscape app. I’ve converted the collages to coloring books pages, digitally colored them, and then removed the outlines.

My current style of working is straightforward, but, I do like to experiment. Here are some digital collages that I was never very happy with, reproduced as blind contour drawings. I don’t like the drawings any more than I do the collages, but the exercise is fun.

Same Sun

New art collection of digitally colored blind curve drawings. You won’t have to look very closely to see that it’s the same sun in each piece.
