I've been following Max's work for a little while, and I saw some work popping up here and there over the last few months, and I loved it. Little did I know that Max has only been creating these amazing collages for about three months! He started out painting (which he is very talented at as well), and turned to collage as a more affordable and accessible method. That's what I love about collage—money, skill nor time are an issue.
