What I'm Working On: Collages

To continue on with my last “What I’m Working On” post, here are the beginnings of experimentations of what I would like to do for my senior project next quarter. 

I’ve been playing a lot with creating my own backgrounds in collaging in my artist’s journal and now want to try it with solely my original work. I’m planning on collaging portraits I take specifically for this series with backgrounds I create in post-production. In the first two images I took portraits from magazines and then used color pencils and pens to create the backgrounds in my notebook. 
 In the last picture I grabbed a photograph from my archives and created the background in Photoshop. I’m not far enough into it to decide if I want to create the backdrop textures by hand or on the computer. So far I think I like the hand drawn more however I’m interested in mixing the two.
