Medium: Handmade & digital collage

I be Collage'in

Finally getting down to doing some personal work, feels good! In total I've started 3 personal projects and got an email to do a freelance.

I'm working on some collage work and here's the start of the first one, "Sloth". I'm mostly a by hand kind of person, but I decided to do this on Photoshop for the mere fact I don't know how to make spider webs/cob webs by hand. I'm new at using Photoshop to do things like this but it does look good; it has a painted feel to it.

Anyway comments and advice would be greatly appreciated since I'm out of my element.

Binary Opposition Postcards

An assignment for my Elec Pre-Press class. Exploration of how the printing process itself can contribute to the meaning of your design and to understand “binary oppositions”.

My postcard represents my hometown of Houston,TX and the division between Southside Houston (woman in red) and Northside Houston (woman in blue).
And my love for vintage female wrestler pictures.



Black Layer: Lyrics from "Chunk up the Deuce" by: Lil Keke (Houston based rapper) represents the fact that we're all pride about being from Houston.



Silver Layer: Just cause I could I made a textile of a bunch of gang girl fights
(C. Silver layer will interact with all 4 layers separately. This layer can conceptually relate to your previous concept, or completely ignore it. This layer is primarily for formal exploration and will be hard to visualize before we actually see it on press)


Surprise prints! Seeing what happens when we turn off the different plates







If you would like some please let me know. You can see more on my Flickr page as well.
