A loosely-autobiographical fiction, An Index of Personalities is a 43-page graphic novel about a fractured boy who dies without knowing the experience of love but, miraculously, wakes up from the dead in the driver's seat of a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria. Through connecting with the people he meets in his drive across America, he learns how to glue the damaged pieces of his mind together for the first time.

This book is the largest collage project I've ever made and took me ten months to finish. I glued, stitched, laminated, cut, burned, painted, colored, built, created, and destroyed hundreds of sources dating from the 1950's to today. All of this material was gifted to me by others, found in secondhand stores and garbage bins, childhood books I've kept for nearly two decades, outlandishly outdated science textbooks, and personal mementos. Scanning this collage unfortunately means you won't get to play with the stuffed letters, hidden niches, and other interactive elements, but I like to think it stands up without them! From Neopets, to Dostoyevsky, to Playboy, to the illustrated Big Game Animals of North America this book is bound to, it has a lot going on. I try to read whatever I take from, and I've learned so much that I never would have found any other way. I'm so excited to finally be able to put this out into the world! If you'd like to read the whole thing, I figured out how to make a Gumroad so you can get the files for free at this link. <3

COLLAGE ON VIEW

Landscape Vernacular

Todd Bartel at the Art Center Gallery at Anna Maria College in Paxton, Massachusetts, USA through 10 April 2024. Todd Bartel’s “Landscape Vernacular” series is an ongoing, decade-long research-based collage series addressing the history of land depiction and changing attitudes about land use and ecology. Catalyzed by interlocking combinations of dictionary definitions, texts, and images, “Landscape Vernacular” collages juxtapose vintage imagery and ephemera from the 18th- through 21st centuries, chronicling the dawn of the Anthropocene.

Part 5 Vintage Junk Journal Cover Reveal!!

Watch until the end and you’ll see a bit of the behind the scenes and some clues how the layers came together 💕

If you’re thinking about making a journal like this:

1. Make your signature papers first.

2. Cut your cover to size. I used a file folder.

3. Before you sew in the signatures be sure to cover the inside cover with paper or fabric.

4. Collage inside pages first so the book lays flat while you create.

5. Layer repeating colours and mix papers and fabrics for the front cover. The spine is covered in a natural linen fabric.

I love when a book feels good in my hands.

The 6x9 inch or 5x7 inch book sizes usually feel right to me.

I hope you enjoyed my series 💕 Happy creating everyone 💕🎨

FROM THE ARTIST DIRECTORY

Triggers for Memory

Mexico City, Mexico. In her work, Soledad Violeta likes to think of images as objects, so she is mainly interested in the materiality of analog collage and analog photography. What is important for her about objects is that they work as triggers for memory, and memory is one of the main topics she explores through her film practice. She is constantly trying to find a dialogue between the different mediums she works on. She explores the expressiveness of fragmenting the human body to find new ways to interpret what a body can be.
