interesting how three people sit down with glue and scissors and a stack of vintage playboy magazines (as well as some Psychology Today, and Geez) and, with no preconceived ideas (or not many) come up with such different creations.

i like how cara and i both use words, and how cara likes to fragment a single image into smaller pieces.

i like how each piece relates to each of our lives--how mine ended up looking like every collage i do, though i never intended that and had no idea it was happening until the end.

i like how cara satirizes smokytygr's cat-head women.

click on cara's to get the words, too-- my fave detail is the birds in the lower left corner of the first one of the two.

i like how carlos explores love, sex, madness, humanity, death, and the brain--entirely through images, and without any words. something about that collage is so carlosian. i could never have made that.

i like how i've slowly, without meaning to, learned some basic principles of composition--how to arrange parts of a work to acheive specific effect.

i like too, how this was carlos' FIRST ever collage, more or less.

i want more collage parties. soon.

I have to say, my favourite is definately the "please God, be a vegetarian"
