ALT: collage of magazine pictures. a grid of 9 boxes, with the shapes of a hand in various positions cut out. in the negative space, faces or pieces of faces, not all of them human. all on a textured green ground, and on the right edge a strip of landscape that is the edge of meadow and forest.
I mostly worked on collages this day. Here is a gallery of where the 2026 batch is at.

This might be done but for the gluing.2026 collage #1, just in case you missed my post a couple days ago. This one is all done and ready to mount or frame.
I finally glued down the first of the collages I started to lay out in March. I think my practical collaging technique is getting better; this one is flat and everything is well glued down.
ALT: collage of magazine pictures, dominated by a sort of gargoyle with a belligerent frog climbing out it’s mouth, and flanked by a bosch club-wielding bird of prey. these images emerge out of a background of brown leaves and blue-green waters.
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a briefly sketched heron-like bird, blue and purple with orange bill next to a row or spoked circles, and a line of orange dots, all rather organic looking, in the upper left there is also what could be purple confetti. the background is all greens and blues, and very much in motion.
ALT: water-soluble crayon. a purple mouse takes up most of the page. it is evidently howling toward a crescent moon, you can tell by the blue swirl coming out of its mouth. it looks pretty happy.
ALT: water-soluble crayon, abstract. green and blue washy lines and stripes, with orange line and circle accents, purple and black ground. The composition is a little reminiscent of a ‘holy family’ theme, but maybe that’s just to my eyes.
