"Brain Bloomin"

Vintage fashion & garden magazine clippings on card-stock!
5.5" x 9.5"

Process Notes:
More of those distressed edges around the hands on this one. For me, when I get those gritty little imperfections and don't polish it, that's a dub.

Had three separate venus fly traps for this series, lost one & kinda tripped for a minute. But me and my wife were doing #collage together and she threw this orchid my way and it all clicked.

For some reason I was kinda fixated on all the heads being the through-line but the variety just ended up being the cheat code that pushes your eye to look at the fashion more.

Once again, thanks for reading if you did. by @bstjoh

"Guide of the Fly"

Vintage fashion & nat geo magazine clippings on card-stock!
5.5" x 9.5"

Process Notes:
While working on this #collage style series I used a dull @xactobrand blade that I basically STILL HAVE somehow but I debo'd from my highschool talented arts program by accident (real ones know)..

I have new shi & could have swapped the blade but hear me out...

It's me v. perfectionism 24/7 and leaving that old blade in forced a distressed edge on the clippings that I ended up really liking.

if you read this far congrats🤜💥🤛
