I took an old guide to Egypt and added vintage computer images. I'd like to think that, if the Egyptians had had computers, they would have created even more amazing art...

What's an ABCD-ery? It's a collection of images in alphabetical order, each image representing one letter in the alphabet (think kids' books). I've always wanted to create one -- and a few days ago, I realized I already DID, in the form of my "Franken Face" collages, each one comprised of assorted parts and labeled with an appropriate title.
Only after I started scanning them did I see that I could compile an almost-complete ABCD-ery. Here's the first set.
A -- Ann Holds her Man
B -- Bandage Face
C -- Compulsion
D -- Do Good
E -- Epic Fall
F -- Face Value
G -- Get Wack ..read more

I love old catalogs from the 1960s and 70s. The fashions are fantastic, the colors are bold, and the people are always smiling. I liberated some folks from old Sears catalogs and let them travel to Switzerland (the black and white version, circa 1930) by collaging every page in a vintage book seen in the slideshow below.
The pages will move forward automatically, but if you're in a hurry, use the "Next" button to page forward. You can go backward by clicking the arrows at the bottom left of the page ..read more
