Collage Art - Mixed Media

in #mixedmediaart6 years ago (edited)

I love mixing and matching different kind or art forms, but I have yet not shown you my mixmatch artwork that much. Well, that's going to change now. Weather you like it or not, here goes!

It all started with ads. Antiads. These are pictures from magazines that I scanned and edited in Photoshop.

Translations from first to last.

  1. You don't need anything more. You already have enough. DON'T BE CRAZY!
    The store promotes crazy days because of the "crazy" discounts they have.
  2. Hello! Hello! Don't buy, save.
    The original ad tells how much you can save by buying.
  3. Draining of natural resources.
    Original ad: storage clearance. (Finnish word tyhjentää can be translated both to clear something or drain.

The basic idea is that the original ad and the text in it are only slightly changed. The picture contains splashes that make the pic a bit more raggedy looking and the text says almost exactly the opposite what the original ad is meant to say, but with almost the same words. The message is turned around.

When my child was young, we played lots and lots of a board game called Mix-Max. The most fun part was not to collect the right bodies but to do weird combinations. I loved the game, but nowadays I have no-one to play it with. So perhaps because of that, lack of Mix-Max (I still have the game in my shelve) playing partners, I started to collect pictures of people from magazine ads and articles. Mix & match their bodies.

So here are some of the characters I made. I call them bodyswap people.

Loving these. Fantastic work! Following for​ more.

Thank you. :)
So bodyswappers and mixed media art ordered, more coming this week.

Hey Insane! I got to know the secrets of your creativeness. Throw me a hint or two if its too special to let out.

I don't know if I have any secrets, but still this comment makes me somehow terrified. But what the heck, let it all out! I think I have no secrets. Let's see if that's true because I have no clue what I did yesterday, last summer or when I was a teenager.

So tell me!
Except if it is that I'm a robot. I'm in denial stage, so better not tell me that now. Maybe later.

This one is like that old movie blade runner all over again haha.

Come ooooooon! I've been waiting for ages!!!! And refreshing this page every 3 seconds!!! Telllllll meeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

No you are too much fun to be a robot. Don't fall in a crisis.
But this might be a robot telling you!ROFL

No you are too much fun to be a robot.

They told me Robin Williams programmed me just before he died. So that makes Robin Williams my dad. My hero and now apparently my dad.

Or did They lie to me?

Don't fall in a crisis.

I am already there. It's pretty hard to fall from the bottom.

Tellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellmetellme!!!

Don't make me come and comment and upvote on every post and comment you made anywhere for the last 7 days or so! What an evil genius in a cave-mans clothes would invent that?! It's so evelly and it's working!

I have never seen your Dead Poet Society's phase of mood. So nope my friend, Robin Williams isn't your creator.
But one thing that bugs me is the existence itself. You might just be a mere creation of my concious like everything else is.

So what happens to me if you stop thinking?
