Hey there, and welcome to my first official post. I figured it appropriate to do a little overview of my creative process and the behind-the-scenes of my collage-making. So to start, you’re gonna need some materials. This is what I’m working with today:
-collage making supplies
-cat
-coffee
-weed
-tunes
-Synder’s of Hanover party-size bag of honey mustard and onion flavored pretzel pieces
-a positive attitude
Before you start, you’re going to want to make sure you smoke a fat bowl or two and ensure that your coffee is adequately lukewarm. Also, make sure your cat has enough scrap paper to play with or she will bite you. Oh. And weed crumbs, there has to be a lot of weed crumbs in your workspace. Great, let’s start!
So first what I like to do is rifle through all my collage materials and pick out the pieces that call to me today. What is speaking to you? What is quietly whispering in the back of your head and what is screaming so loud that you have to pause your music for a second? Take those pieces, and put them together.
How are they interacting? Are they being nice to each other? Maybe that piece that was screaming at you was too aggressive. Yeah, scrap that. Scrap the whole thing actually. We’re starting over.
Okay now maybe pick a few unsuspecting victims and see how they play together. Maybe we’re on to something? Sit with it, empathize with it. What does it need? Take a sip of your coffee. Ponder. Make adjustments. Ah, your favorite song is on! Lets dance.
How are you feeling? Can we put it together yet? Consult your cat for your next move.
Ah, it is done! We have successfully assembled a collage. But are we satisfied? Not yet. Let us make another. Smoke some weed and come back when you have forgotten how to swallow and you’re creeping around your house like you’re playing Resident Evil.
Intermission– take 45 minutes or so to smoke a cigarette, stretch your legs, and get hydrated! Hell, take two hours even. Forget you were making art and start journaling about how the mental prison you live in is of your own creation. Sip your freezing cold coffee. Come to the sobering realization that you can’t live your life like this forever.
Time For The Second Collage.
Throw some pieces on your work surface like you’re a middle school lunch lady serving up some dry-heave-worthy slop. Just really slap those pieces down. Arrange them and re-arrange them for 30 minutes. Decide you’re burnt out. Put everything away and turn on cartoons. You have done well today.
Wow! Look at you! You made a collage! That’s great, I hope you continue to make more. If you enjoyed this or even found it helpful, please keep an eye out for more enlightening content from me on this blog. Thanks!
