Ray Johnson Fan Club sticker #11
Sticker #11 was completed and posted on 12/29/2012 along Carrer del Comerç in Barcelona outside the display window of the J.VALL bicycle shop there. We were on our way to see the C215 exhibition at the Montana Gallery down the road when we came across a nice stencil by him on the way. I had this one last sticker in my bag and posted it nearby.

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 so each is one-of-a-kind. 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.)

MADE WITH TRASH FROM THE STREETS OF BARCELONA

RJFC Stickers #1-3

My first three stickers!

sticker #1 (to be sent out soon)
sticker #1 (Sent to Lanny R. – a fan in Jacksonville, FL)

I’ve decided to apply my trashy collage to some CD labels to use as stickers. I’ve never seen it done before, but it seemed so obvious to use the stack of ready-made labels in that shape that is instantly recognizable as a CD/DVD. Each one is hand-cut and pasted using only trash and found materials. Each is also hand signed and stamped. “PAY NO ATTENTION TO Ray Johnson Fan Club .com”
I had initially made these first three to post out on the streets of Barcelona, but I actually misplaced them while packing and accidentally left them behind. So now these will be the first stickers sent out to some of my Facebook Fans.

Later I plan to actually collage on some CDs themselves and have some original art on them digitally so stay tuned!

Relationship LIX – “3 of Hearts”

Relationship LIX "3 of Hearts"
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.
