Journal Entry #1 - 5 Collages

This collage is part of a series by Mike Alcantara where he uses comic books to create a collage of comic book subjects.  I chose this collage because I think his technique is quite clever, and because I like Spiderman.

This collage by Lola Dupre interested me because the image of the woman appears shattered.  This image works well with an article about Xanax.

Joe Webb did a series of these love collages where he removes one or both of the lovers from the image and replaces them with some form of empty space.  I found this interesting because he used vintage style pictures for his collage, and the removal of one or both people from the collage makes the viewer think about all the possible meanings for this.

I chose this collage because I like the vintage, steampunk feel.  This collage is by Anna Dabrowska and is made of discarded computer parts.

This collage caught my eye because it is an interesting shape.  When I looked closer, I realized it was all a bunch of guns.  This is one of many collages like it by Oddly Head.
