Collagraphs are great. You pile or peal a bunch of stuff off a piece of mat board or something firm. Then you seal the dickens out of it with something insane like lacquer. Mine was, quite literally, a shoe print—I colored the bottom of my MaryJane Crocs with marker and stepped on my art project, then carved out the printed part. Then I got a bunch of organic stuff and glued it down for the branches, here something like baby’s-breath. And finally, I “build” Polaroid type pictures and placed them down.
All in all, this is a scrapbook of my trip to see my bother while he lived in San Jose. We walked all over the place, took a ton of pictures and saw some great vegetation, Alcatraz, the sea lions at the pier and more.
