USING TRASH OFF THE STREETS TO MAKE ART ON THE STREETS.
I use only trash and found items to collage these handmade, signed & numbered stickers. They are made to compliment my larger works which in which I use trashy paperback book covers, record & magazine covers, 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.)

Relationship LIX – “3 of Hearts”

Relationship LIX (#59) – “3 of Hearts”
Collage with found objects. 5×7 inches (approx.13×18 cm)

This is the first in a series of 53 different works based on a vintage, oversized set of nudie playing cards.

The front side of this collage was completed on 12/14/2012. It took me about a month of on-and-off work to finish it. The background “diamond cube” pattern is made of gold foil from discarded chocolate wrappers, a 50 banknote from Congo, and text from a 50’s French mystery serial. The “Sealed for Freshness” bar over her eyes is from a jar of peanuts, the colored dots bar covering her breasts is a printer’s color-check from a discarded bag of pretzels. The B&W label at top right is from a wine bottle seal found on the ground. The “TSA” phrase is from a notice left in my luggage after an airport search. The newsprint text is all from a Tampa Bay Times article on Obama as a wartime president by Molly Moorhead. The VIP & THREE texts are from a junk mail flyer. The Order Form graphic is from an ad for penis enhancement ad in the back of a gun magazine. The LOVE text is from a small packet of granola. The silver halo rays are from a gum wrapper found on the ground.
The back of this piece is still in progress.

PX No.540.

picturecrossing No.540 (SX No.453) Another virtually blank shot. It was very hard to keep these pictures covered in the freezing wind so I got several blank or obscured shots. You could barely make out some lines and people walking in the back of this picture shot at the Bauhaus Archiv in Berlin, so I drew on it and collaged with trash and found objects.

CAMERA: Polaroid SX-70 Alpha 1 SE – c.1978
FILM: Impossible Project PX600 Silver Shade (box #430 11052010)
This pack had an odd “#32” printed on the back as if they were actually using old Polaroid backing materials.
DATE SHOT:12/30/2010
DATE COLLAGED:10/2012

LEFT:PX No.540 was left in Savannah, Georgia, USA on 11/13/2012 at the Greyhound Bus station near West Youmans Street, (which seemed to be under renovation) just below a red fire alarm. (see photo below) I left it there while transferring busses on my 8-hour ride from Jacksonville to Atlanta.
