Handling & Sausage Making

Thank you for joining the millions of Americans collecting these collages. A few things to know when you get yours.

  1. Keep turning it around until you find just the composition you like.
  2. There is a velcro strip more or less centered on the back. Handy for experimenting with hanging or framing.
  3. They are a little fragile and have been coated with a matte finish. This insouciance is part of the charm, non?

Sausage Making

  1. I do them around 6 am, Monday through Friday in dim light.
  2. I give myself 15 minutes to complete it.
  3. All the source materials are from the Sunday New York Times and wallpaper scraps and samples from my friend, a master hanger.
  4. Some days I limit myself to 3 or 4 pieces of materials.
  5. Some days I draw on them.
  6. I do my best to ensure that no source image is recognizable for what it actually is.

My friend Rick is a master wallpaper hanger and aficionado. He gives me scraps to use in my collages.

In this latest batch, I’m working fast to grease the composition and color wheels. I make one first thing in the morning before the day begins. Additional elements are cut from magazines. I’m experimenting with a few constraints. They are all roughly 6″ squares, in some I only allowed 3 additional pieces to be added. As I progressed I’d add some drawn elements before layering on the magazine pieces.

Inspired by these folks on Instagram Austin Kleon, Michael DeSutter, Elise Margolis, Robert Hardgrave, Andy Burgess, and Paul Inglis.
