Well said, my friend.
Thank you for your advice
well, I wish you luck
I have to say that I disagree
I encourage collage artists to simply ignore you
Most of what you said has nothing or little to do with
comments that advocate completely disregarding
using unique images
collage isn't about glue-sniffing grandmothers
You may get this idea over and over.
I shake my fist at it and call it a joke.
also the suggestion of encasing
do what you feel is right, but hey
I don't feel strongly [about] glossy cosmo mags and coke commercials
I don't have a problem with people
I've done a few collages to date
the copyright police have not been at my door
Collage is about creating new forms of being
I never noticed the back of the pieces
the main thing is you can really change them!
My sincere apologies
is there lead in my drinking water?
artistic process is so much more important
it's important to respect the work
i just remind myself: Know your history.
If a person can't make out your image
That is probably for the best.
existence itself is ART
don't be a sissy, take issue with this
Collage is/can be a political act
a kind of release of artistic and psychological energy
that's never gonna get seen by anyone
i found a piece of paper on the ground and used it.
Regarding the realm of "what if" and knee jerkism:
I worried about copyright also
i just remind myself it is a creative exercise--ART!
i have eased my brain by using old stuff
I think I will look with a different eye now.
make the issue go away
you really are talking about a crime of magnitude
collage.. which is a democratic, non-hierarchical form
its great "legal" system is a joke.
stop worrying about people ripping off your images
the poor little fishes and birds have to deal with it everyday
they understand what I'm talking about.
