I'm mostly into "analog photomontages", which consists of cutting up images from magazines (mostly National Geographic) and gluing them in some different way that i find fits nicely together. I made some digital collages also, but since i work the whole day on my computer, i prefer to have an offline hobby. My collages are hosted on another site (flickr.com), there you can browse by:

Landscape Tilt made on 070616, size: 61x37.5 cm. This one took me a lot of time, because of the rules i made up: obviously and not-so-obvious connections between the images; i used two separated (up and down) green landscapes and 2 volcanoes photos (finding the second wasn't easy). All photos are from National Geographic, unfortunately don't know the photographers for credit, but hope they like it!  Stop Fuckin With Nature IThe first of my "Stop Fuckin With Nature" series.

The mountains are tibet/nepal, on the left i put Ganesha reading, and on the right a six-armed tree-head based on the multiple arms of the indian gods. The freen field is a photo from African buffalos. Most of this images i got form National Geographic (specially the December 2004 edition). |
