Hello there!
Hi!!! I am Andy … thanks for stopping by and checking out my work. My goal was to turn something discarded into something beautiful, appealing, and unique, and I feel like I have achieved this via the collage portraits I make from old magazines. The collages work equally well up close as from afar. At a distance they are impactful, edgy portraits, and at closer inspection you can find deeper meaning through the words, phrases, positive affirmations and so much more!
Whether it is a commission of a client’s loved one or a pop-icon, it all starts with research and an understanding of the subject, allowing their personality to shine through. The words and phrases must be the right ones, and of course, the selected image needs to be the perfect choice.
I create a resilient and lasting product. Everything from preparation, application techniques, using archival glue to sealing the final piece with a UV protective product, makes each piece stand the test of time.
