"Songbird". I think it is our nature to believe evil always has an ugly face.  Beauty is supposed to be good and kind, and to discover it otherwise is like a betrayal of trust. A violation of the nature of things. https://www.instagram.com/p/Box46y_Cabq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=z4fj4nmmfb3e

"Ghost"____"A ghostly smile flickered across his face. "If you weren't so psychotic, you'd be fun to hang around." "Funny, I feel that way about you too." He didn't say anything else, but the smile grew, and he walked away." _____ #collageart #handcut #collageartistsx #collageonpaper #digitalcollage #fineart #digitalart#cutandpaste #collage #collagecollectiveco #papercollage #collageartist #a5submission #a5zine #artwork #UnpopularCultureNYC #contemporarycollage #contemporaryart #collagecollective #artist #theartshed#mixedmedia #collageoftheday #C_expo #paperart #handmade #analogcollage #surreal https://www.instagram.com/p/BohNiUTnKYK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=e2kf7ng72l8y

"Cover"Analog collage - 2018 ______(not my quote)“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.” ― Henri J.M.

Based on Inktober artprompts I am making small series. So far Ive created "Poison" and "Tranquil". Today's prompt is "Roasted". This serie is made by backing photos in butter. I enjoy finding New ways to use up about 300 vintage photographs I once got at a fleamarket. I have about 200 to go. #inktober #Inktober2018 #butter #mixedmedia https://www.instagram.com/p/BodvPfkCKMd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1nb0hb7272ot7

PIE IN THE SKY. She was good at cooking, and looking nice as well. We met in a restaurant. She was cleaning all the tables, when the last guests left. Dirty napkins, and leftover fries. It was pretty exciting. The way she looked at me.         She winked.                As if she was trying to say. "Don't you dare to go away. Before the last guests finishes their "Creme Brue-le-le". After 15 minutes we met, we had a blast already.                  (On the toillet) . To be honest, I did not thought about us to be a long term thing.  But we exchanged messages. Nice ones. Many feelings, they had bring. I happened to fall in love with her. Things were just about to begin. #collageart #handcut #collageartistsx #collageonpaper #digitalcollage #fineart #digitalart#cutandpaste #collage #collagecollectiveco #papercollage #collageartist #a5submission #a5zine #contemporarycollage #contemporaryart #collagecollective #artist #theartshed#mixedmedia #collageoftheday #C_expo paperart #handmade #analogcollage #surreal #surrealism #handmadecollage @collageartwork
