the thrill of new thoughts

by tm on September 10, 2007

I’ve been working on a new digital collage series– well, actually, several ideas for new series are stewing in my head at various stages, but I’m thinking of one in particular now. Each collage in the Plans & Diagrams series uses a photo of a linen sheet as the background image. I’m planning to do something similiar with this new series. The background images will be from a 19th century engineering book– here’s a tiny preview:

The series is lovely.

My favorite is probably #8. It popped out at me.

Nice work!

I love these kind of documents. If you can, get your hands on some out-dated nautical charts.

Thank you Katie! It’s cool to hear which works speak to people… it seems like something different speaks to everyone.

Deb, that’s a fabulous idea! Off to ebay for nautical charts… There goes my resolution to pay off the credit card :)

I can’t wait to see what you come up with starting with this book. Delicious!

Can’t wait to see what you do with this! Your work just gets better and better.
By the way, I bought that Photoshop Mask book and it’s great.
