I know without a doubt that you would come up with a beautiful Buddha tile design. Your lines are so expressive (not just the ones you give the ladies!)<br /><br />I haven't done that much collage work, being primarily a painter up till now. But watching out for copyright issues is tricky, esp. if one has artisitic scruples!Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-88052924113426019652009-08-28T09:20:36.674-03:002009-08-28T09:20:36.674-03:00Hi Lynne!

I've been thinking of doing some Buddha related tiles for quite some time, but just haven't gotten around to doing it. Your art here has piqued my interest again and I think I'll take a few design steps in that direction. <br />Thanks for the inspiration. !<br />David<br />;)<br />*<br />PS -- The wallpaper design copyright issue makes me chuckle a bit, but it has me thinking that navigating copyright concerns must be more than a minor task for a collage artist, huh?Blind Fly Theaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09011262001970131894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-3950307226523513152009-08-27T21:45:39.497-03:002009-08-27T21:45:39.497-03:00Hey Robin, I'm glad you like them!

Here I...Hi J, I'm happy you like the collages! Here I am all freaked out about not violating any copyrighted material, and just assuming that no one would be reading the Asian script! I tried to not expose too much of it at a time so that it wouldn't necessarily have any real meaning in case anyone did read it, though. <br /><br />I tore it from a newspaper I picked up in Seattle a couple of years ago (yeah, Pack Rat Syndrome) at a big Asian Food Fair/Grocery Complex. <br /><br />When I post the next batch of collages I'll make at least one of them "biggable" enough so that you can get a better look at the script and let me know which language it is. That would be very cool!

I think a lot of amateur artists out there just use things they find willy-nilly, which I guess is okay if it's just for their own walls or journals, but once you start presenting your work publicly, look out! <br /><br />I didn't actually coin the expression "collage artist." I don't know where or when it originated but it's bandied about all over the art world now. It covers a lot of territory, and I don't mean just geographically!<br /><br />Cloth Paper Scissors has a website and they probably have back issues you can order. My article was in the Nov/Dec 2007 issue. I'd post the whole thing but am afraid of copyright infringement! I have a few extra copies that they sent me by mistake. I could send you one if you like, as long as the postage cost isn't nuts.

But I suppose, symbolically, they ponder the nature of being a buddha. (I just thought of that now). I'm glad the colours and textures resonate with you. It's hard to convey them in photos, but you get the idea.Lynne with an ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320166770541319601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-13121521377413490302009-08-27T10:14:34.740-03:002009-08-27T10:14:34.740-03:00Great collages.

I couldn't get the images large enough to be 100% sure, but the script is too complicated to be Korean so it's either Mandarin or Cantonese.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16307649445757209162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427112744798953361.post-45981593425217240152009-08-27T08:16:00.444-03:002009-08-27T08:16:00.444-03:00I like your term collage artist and your philosphy...I like your term collage artist and your philosphy about changing the images enough to make them your own if they are copyrighted.
