Collage is Fine Art

I totally disagree with IamWeird33. Collage is fine art. Instead of creating with paint, pencil, or ink , you have to manipulate, not to mention, find, the perfect scrap for your piece and make it all work. I find a certain snobbery in some artists who look down their nose at other's artists choice of medium. It's a mistake and a disgrace to the art world not to remain open minded. Collage definitely belongs in Art Portal and I hope to see more of it, as I like to view all kinds of art.

thanks, i agree. I was working with a limited number of magazines, just like other painters and such sometimes work with limited color palettes.

Congrats on front page, Jon, you deserve it...

I love how you were able to capture much of the shading of the original even using only paper cutouts. And you're right about it looking more realistic from farther away.

Great work as always, keep it up!
