Description: That face. That amazing, beautiful, gorgeous face. I cheated and moved the face to a 1920s body. The layers upon layers in this: an altered photograph of woods to look like a painting, deep space, old photo of a closed roadside cafe, the medieval siren, the strange man-girl selling meats in the background, the egg.

Description: I worked on this for a couple of weeks (sometimes a collage comes together immediately). The hardest detail was Barbie's hat. The birds were there from the beginning and would stay no matter what. I had an ice cream sundae, a pizza, coffee. In the end, strawberries won.

Description: Illustrated by Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa for the French 1906 edition of War of the Worlds. From the Public Domain Review website, “‘Alvim Corrêa’, Wells said after the artist had died, ‘did more for my work with his brush than I with my pen’.” Presented here with my own humble flourishes.
Description: To quote NASA: "This NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope Picture of the Week features NGC4826 — a spiral galaxy located 17 million light-years away in the constellation of Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair). This galaxy is often referred to as the “Black Eye”, or “Evil Eye”, galaxy because of the dark band of dust that sweeps across one side of its bright nucleus."

Description: Pluto is four billion miles away. Its average temperature is -387 degrees Fahrenheit. It's largest moon, Charon, is half Pluto's size and causes Pluto to wobble in its orbit. Why has it been downgraded to a dwarf planet? It isn't big enough to assert "orbital dominance". There is a lot of crap around Pluto and it can't clean up its neighborhood.

Description: A medieval bestiary was a book that catalogued all of the beasts of the world, similar to an encyclopedia. It also included religious explanations as to why certain beasts existed. Here is a collection of four of the more interesting and beautiful I've encountered: (clockwise) a centaur, a two-headed serpent (possibly a dragon), a bat, and a siren. The borders are also of the period, but drawn by Victorian artists.

Description: Anyone remember the Muppet Show's skit "Pigs in Space"? This is my homage. It also seems like this would be a 1960s billboard advertising some kind of porterhouse special at a Vegas casino.

Description: Samplers are an old form of embroidery or cross stitch art, containing a sample of the alphabet, different stitches and images, sometimes with a logical cohesion, sometimes not. My sampler (defined as a neosampler) seeks to reimagine the sampler of my grandmother's time and define it anew in the digital realm. So, logically (or ironically), I picked images from an old German medical book: Die Heilgymnastik in der Gynaekologie: und die mechanische Behandlung von Erkrankungen des Uterus und seiner Adnexe nach Thure Brandt (1895), translated from German as "The physiotherapy in gynecology and the mechanical treatment of diseases of the uterus and its appendages by Thure Brandt". The wonderful people at publicdomainreview.org have im...
Description: I've read some stuff about the quantum structure of time. Only through collage, I believe, can I have even the most silly discussions about time.
