This composition was created through traditional methods of cutting and pasting many “A’s” found in various sources of printed media. This project has been one of my favorites because of the simplicity of the subject and how the symmetry of the form was utilized to create a dynamic composition.

High Maintenance, Low Drag
Let’s take it way back to the early 2000s, before the age of subscriptions and online image searches. This is one of my first digital collages using Adobe Photoshop. The images were found in printed media, scanned, and then arranged in Adobe Photoshop.
This collage is a testament to my love of storytelling through art. The composition has a nostalgic juxtaposition that reminds me to trust my instincts as an artist, and that play is an essential element of the creative process.
