USING TRASH OFF THE STREETS TO MAKE ART ON THE STREETS.
I use only trash and found items to make these one-of-a-kind, hand cut and paste, signed & numbered artworks. I use trashy paperback book covers, record & magazine covers, CDs, posters, postcards and other mass-produced media as a base for my hand-cut & paste collages, which I usually leave out on the streets for anyone to enjoy (or destroy.)

RJFC Hits Brussels! ~ Stickers #38, #39 & #40

On two separate trips to Brussels recently, I made these stickers using only trash found on the streets there.

Relationship LXVII ~ Terrible Experience

Ray Johnson Fan Club Relationship LXVII ~ “Terrible Experience” My 67th Collage Relationship was completed 6/21/2013 while sitting at “Le temps d’un café” in Mons, Belgium.

It was sent later that week to a fan in New York along with some stickers.

I really like the way my collaged CD stickers have been turning out and I wanted to make something similar as a more permanent piece. So instead of just doing a sticker, I did a proper collage directly on a corrupt DVD (one of the many that my disc burner screws up.) There is not any data on the DVD, though perhaps I’ll try doing that in the future…
This is the first time I’ve tried it and I’m happy with the results so maybe I’ll try working on old records too.
