Under the moniker of Middle Boop, designer extraordinaire Gordon Reid takes images old and new and cuts, slices, pastes and..um… saves to .jpg
the results are lovely. abstract collages full of the wonders of childhood wartime aspirations and the galaxy.
his work has graced the pages of Macworld & Digital Arts magazines, and Juxtapoz &
Rough Trade’s websites [...]

The only info I can find on Miss Bugs‘ website is a quote from Pablo Picasso
“If there is something to steal, I steal it!”
And in a way, that’s all the info we need. Miss Bugs’ work takes iconic imagery from pop culture and art history and reforms it using collage and technique. I particularly like [...]

Norwegian are mokkelbost is the man behind the collage insanity that is ION.
i initially thought that he was yet another photoshop wizard, but further investigation on his site b-o-r-g.org lead me to realize that he spends a whole lot of time with scissors and glue.

when she’s not badgering my colleagues and i to meet work deadlines, katharine rowe creates beautiful collages. mixing her own photography and (i presume) stock shots and/or magazine cuttings she creates textured scenes of juxtaposition, reinterpreting our everyday lived space.

a few days ago i commented that usually less-is-more and something left out is quite often more important that adding something extra. james dawe works with deconstructing and re-collating a whole bunch of beautiful imagery.

eva eun-sil han is a mixed media artist currently working and living in Belgium. that’s about all I know (on this anyway).
