2026 Collage #3, happy mantids
ALT: magazine picture collage featuring two praying mantises in very dancerly poses, with the torso of a young human in the background. The human was photographed holding a bunch of flowers, but one of the mantises blocked out that view. The flowers ended up as part of Collage #2.
zebrabbit
ALT: water-soluble crayon. it’s a creature sitting behind a plant that is a simply pair of leaves. the critter is blue, has sort of zebra stripes on its back and a vaguely equine face, but long ears like a rabbit.
tree rocks
ALT: water soluble crayon. four orangish trees stand straight in a forest, each with a blue rock at its base. well, you can’t really see if the one in the way back has a rock, because one of the rocks blocks the view of its base.
2026 Collage #2, finished and glued down.
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.
happy flower
ALT: water-soluble crayon, simple drawing of a big dandelion with floopy leaves.
I mostly worked on collages this day. Here is a gallery of where the 2026 batch is at.
little late for a march hare
ALT: ink and water-soluble crayon. portrait of a hare in some sort of clothing (badly sketched jacket I suppose). they look a little wistful I think.
2026 collage #1
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.
Ducklings Fix Everything.
ALT: water-soluble graphite doodle of a proud duckling with bowlegs and an open bill.
ice pond snack
ALT: water-soluble crayon. four little purple fish poke at a bit of fallen vegetation, concentric ripple rings in blue and green.
