This is another collage inspired by the National Zoo in Washington, DC – which is one of my favorite places to visit to gather inspiration for future works of art. I’m hoping to get started on a still life collage in the next couple of weeks, but I suppose I tend to procrastinate when it comes to still life work. I was about to get started on one but then fell into making this hermit crab collage. What can I say? I really enjoy making collages of different animals. Animals are just too fascinating – so much color and variety.

Another day, another beagle. What can  I say? They’re one of my go-t0-dogs for collaging – just beagles and dachshunds.

Anyway, I had fun working on this small collage. It got me thinking about future projects to work on. I’m hoping to do some work with film and collage soon, as well as begin a new series.

More info will be posted in the upcoming weeks…

Here is the finished piece, inspired by a couple of Golden Retrievers that I saw in Old Town Alexandria. The next piece I’m working on is (surprise, surprise) another dog collage. What can I say, I’m caught up with the same subject matter at the moment. I hope to move away from these furry friends soon and begin another landscape/cityscape series.

Anyway, I hope everyone had a lovely Valentine’s Day and that you’re having a wonderful weekend!

Here’s my latest animal collage. Recently I’ve been busy with a number of art-related and nonart-related things. I’ve decided that I’ll focus on making a series of smaller collages during this time. As a result, I’ll be able to explore a number of different subjects since my smaller works of art don’t take as long to complete as my larger pieces.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having a wonderful December. Can’t believe that it will be 2014 in a matter of days.

I recently completed another dachshund collage. Looks like there’s been a bit of a pattern in the subject matter I’ve been tackling…

Anyway in other news, I’m hoping to film my collage process somewhat soon and create a time lapse video. More to come later…

Although this year has been a quiet one in my studio, I got around to completing another small collage yesterday, “Blue Dachshund’s Day Out.” I’m planning to continue to work on smaller pieces here and there as I work on other creative endeavors. Sometimes a change of pace is well needed.

And the collage is complete! Next up? A landscape/cityscape series inspired by scenes around DC and neighboring areas. My goal is to complete one collage each week so I’ll be able to finish a new body of work in time for a solo show in February 2013. I’ve got quite a bit of collaging ahead of me…
