Hope that these naked dudes don't throw you off, if bodybuilding is not your thing. And why would it be? These cutouts are all I have left in my scrapbook. I would have liked to have sketched them, to make the images wholly original. I've grown out of the sport in recent times, these are champions from years ago, but a figure is a figure. Sorry, I know you would prefer Miley Cyrus. I thought about putting outlines on them. Mostly I'm just making the best of pen work which I feel doesn't quite stand alone in its own right. Some computer-aided design would touch them up nicely. I like the idea of getting back into collaging, with or without computers, I used to enjoy it. It's great for keeping occupied in the evenings.
To begin with, I thought I had no blue tack, so was almost forced into using duct tape. That so wouldn't have worked. I never use glue if I can help it, because then the images can't be re-used as part of something else. Glue is so final. I'm presently thinking about what else I can do with these, as it's not often I doodle anymore. I like to cut a finished picture in half and re-stick it together again in an odd way. Same with sculptures; just snap them in two and restructure them as a general rule.
I've been looking at the best book covers in the world for inspiration. I like being art-minded, it's good for the soul. My initials are ATD (Art Till Death) but I haven't been living it lately. I like the idea of simple art, as basic as can be. It seems that the more complicated and complex something is, the better, but I disagree sometimes. It's hard to be elementary and conceptual.
