as free as a bird

This one definitely belongs with Illustration Friday's theme of "Retro." The one thing I'll say about this now is that there's only one rubber stamp image: the brown triskele overlapping one of the skulls at the bottom. Other than that, this is 100% collage. But I'll be happy to answer questions about it. =grin=

Cut-paper collage postcard created for the Kollage Kit theme: "Skull and Crossbones." You're looking at four different photos of one skull of a newborn baby. Starting in the lower left and going clockwise: front view, back view (tipped to the left), side view, top view. The minerals in the orbits are chalcopyrite and diabolite. With markers and acrylic paint. I think newborns are fascinating, especially their heads. I used to be a nurse in a newborn nursery—most entertaining job I ever had.

first dinosaur to play hamlet

Cut-paper collage postcard created for Kollage Kit theme: "Alternate History." "Alas, Poor Yorick!" The actor playing Hamlet is a Leaellynasaura : it lived in regions that got cold enough for snow, so it had a coat of downy feathers over much of its body. The theropods that ate it (forelimb in upper right) were similarly equipped for the cold. The costume is the one that Sarah Bernhardt wore when she played Hamlet in 1899. It apparently makes no difference whether you say that dinosaurs were primitive birds, or that birds are modern dinosaurs. Today all birds are classified in Dinosauria, a subset of Reptilia.

what brown can do for you

Cut-paper collage postcard created for the "Un-Color" swap I hosted on swap-bot. I chose brown as my un-color—from the palest brown of computer punch cards, faded newspaper, and old bone, to the tan of paper bags and corrugated cardboard, to siena, chestnut, and the darkest sepia. The title is a slogan of the United Parcel Service.
