The Dumpster Project from mac premo on Vimeo.
A little behind with this one, but check out this video by Mac Premo, called The Dumpster Project. Mac works with collage and assemblage, and has amassed a huge collection of interesting objects. With a studio downsize impending, he has taken the opportunity to turn his things into an art project, instead of just getting rid of them outright. For now, he is cataloging each item at thedumpsterproject.com.

Maybe it's because I am myself a cat lover, but these cat + houseplant collages make me smile so much. Stephen Eichhorn combines intricate plant papercutting a la Alexis Mackenzie and quirky cat portraits to make delightfully entertaining pieces--and did I mention it looks like he does them by the hundreds?
See all of them at his tumblr, Plants & Animals.

Who says collages have to be on paper? Who says they can't be paper pinned to a wall, photographed, then turned into a zine? Well, we all have our ideas, and I think this 3D display my Matt Whitwell is quite great, but even greater in this quirky booklet form!

It's also nice to see what people are doing months after the fact, here is some new work from Chad Kouri which has changed quite a bit! It still has a retro tinge but the focus has completely changed. Thanks for sharing, Chad.
This series by Nathaniel Whitcomb (which I found while browsing flickr) really caught my eye. I love seeing conceptual experiments done with collage, this one in particular is about peeking into the thoughts of the subject by displaying a small portion of their environment. Read on for Nathaniel's own details and a link to the rest of the series.
Thought Orbs is a collage study. By isolating the figure in an image and displaying one small portion of the environment we are able to glimpse into their thoughts. Even if it is merely a millisecond as they survey their surroundings.
I recently recieved an email from Richard Pearse about his series "A Series of Indecision," and honestly, I think it's fantastic. I particularly love all the yesses, maybes, and nos (of course).

I have received so many lovely emails from readers and collagists lately, and let me tell you how wonderful that is! This is how I heard about the blog Art Design 3(6)5, which was created by a designer named Somsara Reilly to commemorate her 35th birthday and to document her year. There have been so many blog a day blogs popping up in the last few years, but each one of them has a uniqueness to them. I love just seeing the progress of a year's steady work! Somsara is over 100 days in, so make sure you steal a look at her blog before her year is over!
Take a look at these beautiful limited edition typographic collage posters by Hugo Werner! I had to post about them after he generously sent me some in the mail (the four in this post) all the way from Brazil! I think you can get your own at his website, or contact him directly for more information.
Thanks Hugo!
This is a very image heavy post, as I think it should be! I recently interviewed Hugo Werner about his collages, and along with his work I found the work of his students, part of an Experimental Typography class that works with collage and typography. I love love love the idea of this project, which involves collage, transfers, lettering, stamps, stencils, and calligraphy. "The main objective is to explore the materiality of the word-image," says Hugo.
What I find so fascinating about this experimental project is the way each student interprets the assignment differently, and of course, the excellent use of typographic elements. I think it's such a valuable collection of student collage work!
