"Enough!" said the old gentlemen, "The city is getting too
crowded. Big houses, too many rules, chores, too much entertainment, too many cell phones, and too many people. Argh"
"I am heading for the forest, where it will be quiet!"
My Illustration Friday collage is made from:
an illustration of a grumpy 19th century man, two maps
(city block and English roads), pictures from magazines (broom and cell phone), ticket stub, part of a pillow tag, library due date card, building and count from Italian nougat treat, and pictures of postcards (the two modern guys). I stamped some of the picture and put a watercolor wash.

Very nice collage!
beautiful - I love this - and the story too - really lovely work:-)
This style is seriously cool-looking. Very nice colours as well.
Digital Scott, Linda Sarah, and Axl,
Thanks a lot!
I haven't been submitting to IF lately and I was determined to do something this week.
I will check out your entries on a work break. I have faster internet access at work.
This is great! Now, do you have this in a book or in an art journal? How do you keep your collages?
I bought a lot of watercolor paper that was too unwieldy and I cut them up in smaller pieces. I don't have a journal. I just date the pieces and put in a section in my tv cabinet. I might have to bind them later on.
Hey, I hope no one was watching when you removed that pillow tag. The consequences could be dire! Great collage. fun and interesting.
I have always loved removing pillow tags and waiting to get in trouble!
Encourage your children to rebel in small ways.
really nice collage and idea! thank you for your comment!
No one can be grumpy in quite the same way as 19thc men :)
I really like the colour and texture of this piece.
Claude, I am looking forward to more of your works.
Tanaudel, I am doing a pensive 19th girl for the canned one this week.
Thanks to both of ya'll for visiting.
