I Reworked My Old Artwork... and other thrifted art | Collage Transformation | REISSUED

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I'm clearing out my office and I need to "reissue" some old artwork I have on hand! This time, I reinvented two thrifted art pieces and an old canvas that I painted back in high school!
Along the way, I share my thoughts about repeating oneself as an artist, why I covered the eyes in my latest art pieces, and how chance and mistakes can turn into amazing artistic moments.

Oh my goodness, I'm the one whose dad was a patternmaker. I did get choked up on the first video, but I boo-hooed like a child on this one. Thank you SO MUCH for that kind honor in naming your art piece. I was a complete mess at the end, but I did enjoy the video and your work is great!! 🥰
Omg I’m so glad you like how it turned out, Jilly! Your comment was so special and I really appreciated you sharing that ❤️❤️❤️
Simply STUNNING! I love your creative process, resulting in TRULY unique results. MUCH Love & Respect... Deborah
Thank you Deborah!
As someone who is not an artist, it is amazing to watch someone in the process make art.
I agree Myra! I find creative process fascinating! So cool to see ideas emerge and transformation take place 🙌🏻
Love your authentic self ...creative background is real..and appreciated...
CHALLENGE - would love for you to create a work of of visual art work ...that best expresses one of your choreograped piece...I sense this has been your inspiration...just wondering!!!😂😂😂😂😂❤❤
As an older artist of found items, I absolutely love your videos! You've got a lot of talent and its fun watching your creativity flow.
I had to laugh to myself regarding the negative comments about covering the eyes in your last pieces, because I loved it! I love all that you create!
Haha it’s all good! I’m open to differences of opinion and feedback about my work! Less so with the comments about my appearance and personality 😂💀
Me too - I thought it was very clever to cover the eyes in such a neat way. I will try to do the same in the future on one of my projects…and then wait for my family’s comments 😂.
The thing with art is, not everyone's gonna like it or understand it. As an artist, I go with what I feel inspired by, not what other's think it should be. I've watched countless artists on yt be brought down by viewers who think it should fit their views. Do what you think is right for you because you can't please everyone and it's your space, not ours. I loved your artwork then as I do these new ones. Great eye for art!!
Thank you so much! Yeah it’s interesting to be getting so much feedback all of a sudden… but I’m sticking to what inspires me! Just like to offer explanation when I can! I appreciate your support!
@@REISSUED Thanks for the explanation. I understood that. I appreciate your eye for creativity. Do you!🙏
I agree, well said.
@@Earthy-Artist Naw, thank you💙🙏
Thank you for sharing your art. I have many old photographs of family members and it upsets me that they live in a box so you have given me great ideas to bring them back to life so that our loved ones can be remembered much more often. Nobody wants to be forgotten and most of us never want to forget them so this is so perfect. I don't think you know that the impact that you are making is unbelievably massive and greatly appreciated. You are so special and unique and your parents are extraordinary. Much love and admiration from Phoenix Az!
Aw thank you so much! And we are totally on the page… I’m already planning a video using some old photos of family members and vintage photographs I thrifted awhile back. Such a special way to honor those subjects and give them new life! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your kind thoughts ❤️❤️❤️
@@REISSUEDI love love love turning old photographic images into fabulous art. I love the sepia colors and the moodiness of some old photos. The subject matter is something I really haven’t seen before, I like the way you think outside of the box.
I love your explanation of your process and how respectful you are not only to yourself and your approach to the art but to others' interpretations. You're so fricken cool and your work is stunning!
Thank you so much! Yes I know how subjective art can be (and should be) so I like to consider all perspectives. But gotta stay true to me! I appreciate your support ❤️❤️❤️
Your explanations of creative choices here are great for enriching the social media space. I did a PhD dissertation on French Surrealism (focusing on the 1920s), so collage and starting with the found object to see where it takes you are interesting to me. Really, the question is for any of us viewers is, what do we see in it? Not so much, what did the creator of the piece intend. This was not a waste of my time on RUclips today, thanks for this! :)
Thank you so much! Yes I find it really interesting to dive into creative process and artistic intention. But you are spot on that the interpretation by the viewer is the most important part! Thanks for sharing your thoughts ❤️
Sometimes it is necessary to destroy and tear down before you create and uplift. As a principal.
I just looked in your website. I’m so happy for you that “Torn Sky” was purchased. I couldn’t buy it, but I Loved it! Just know I will never forget that art piece! It is the epitome of Beauty. 😊 I’m off to watch this video….
I bought it! I just hung it up in its official location tonight before watching this vid! I was so excited to see more works, but very sad I can't purchase more at this time :).
@@theedorbs Oh wow! Even better…I get to “meet” the owner of my favorite piece of art. 😊
I’m so happy it arrived safely and that you’re enjoying it! Thanks again for purchasing, Erin! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm always fascinated with your art process and how your work evolves. So fun! and I love the final art so much!
Thank you so much for watching! I’m happy you enjoyed the process ❤️
Evocative and interesting work - so interesting to see how you work. ❤
Thank you so much!
I'd love to see one where you work with the spaces between the cutouts. I think that could be really interesting. Beautiful pieces!!! 💕
I love this idea! Thanks for sharing ❤️
Love everything you did. No need to explain anything. Totally understand your process . Everything from the Alex McQueen show to what you lay down . Bravo!
Very reminiscent of Simon Doonan’s work. Love, love what your doing.
I’ll have to check that out!
I like your depth to your art, it’s art, cover up what you want ✌🏻😜 that’s what makes it art
Haha totally!
I’m reading through comments to the end and can’t help but chuckle at the irony of someone schooling you on polite society and yet I yearn to ask them if they are familiar with the phrase “pot calling the kettle black” ?! Also, the moving arm comment, that is comical because I am francophone from Quebec and you cannot suppress our hand gestures, it’s an art form and half our conversations don’t require words because of said arm gestures ha ha ha. It’s you! It’s endearing. Don’t change it.
I sat here thinking “don’t explain your thought process” and was then listening intensely. Art is so provocative. I love all of your portraits but “windows” really speaks to me and I adore “Pieces of You.” Sadly I’m in England so import costs would stop me from buying otherwise I’d be dropping windows right into my basket.
I just found your channel last week and have binge watched in order. Can’t wait for your next one now I’m up to date
Haha I hear ya! I find it super interesting to hear about creative process so like to share my thoughts from time to time. I wish I could ship to you in England! Shipping costs seem to have skyrocketed even domestically… so I’m not sure what might be possible. Either way, I appreciate your support so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I love your style ❤ so lucky I found your channel. Binge watching your videos and I’m finding inspiration in your house projects 😊
I’m so happy you found me! Thank you so much for watching ❤️❤️❤️
"And all my thoughts are pieces but of you that put together make a glass so true that I therein no other face but yours can view"
Howdy Andrew!! Love your artwork!! Your printer might be getting low on ink, that would cause the color variations. I really like your tendency towards vintage & antique photos & give them new life! This batch has suttle hints of Wharhohlism! Big Hugs & tugs from NW Ohio!!!!!!
Hey Ken! I’m glad you like these! Definitely love a Warhol vibe 🙌🏻
The printhead might need cleaning or realignment, also.
Which printer do you use?
I’m in the market for a new one and like this opportunity to comparison shop based on results, rather than promises.
Thanks!
😺✌️
All three are just fantastic. I've been using so many more found and thrifted materials these days, and the canvases and other things to paint on at my local thrift shops are very inspiring.
So glad to hear that! Keep at it! 🙌🏻
Really loved this video and your artistic endeavors with "reissuing" existing art .
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Love your attention to detail! Your shirt is awesome!!
Awww Queenie, adorable! I liked your high school artwork, colors were beautiful. I also like it's evolution into 'The patternmaker' it was my favorite of your three re-imaginings, I like them all.
'Pieces of You' is my favorite. Do you have a large format printer at home? Or do you use a printing service?
Love seeing these artworks come to life -- and I especially like that they're "reissued" from their previous lives.
Fun video idea would be to create a 'reissued' piece using materials from viewers -- I would love to send you something!
As a mixed media artist myself, I really appreciate the uniqueness of your pieces. As far as others' opinions, take them with a grain of salt and do what YOU love.
I would love to see you use a non-human animal or two in your artwork. To me non-human animals are more beautiful than "naked apes."
Love your videos. You are so lucky to have your parents around to help you so much. They seem like lovely, hardworking people. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for making this video and sharing more about your process... This is the best and I can have for my upcoming arts residency. I am working on the piece of the local historical figure- a tortured soul - and instead of pattern pieces I will be using historical document / historical map as background. Your use of color and distressing technique is very brave!! So by watching you I will be able to skip the 'timid period' as I jump into this process, and therefore save time... Thank you again, this video came at the perfect moment for me... And also your information about the website it's great because I didn't know about it. You have helped me Bring my own work to a new level...
That’s awesome Sara! I know exactly what you mean about the “timid period!” It can be tough to get started… but you’ve got this! Sending all the positive and creative energy your way ❤️❤️❤️
I love to watch your creative process. Thanks for doing this…..keep them coming!
I actually really liked your drippy painting but I love the way the man turned out. As for the covering of the eyes…. The eyes are the windows to the soul so in essence, by looking at the artwork itself, the eyes are those of the viewer if that makes sense ♥️
I love your creativity.
When you started putting the pattern pieces on the man I thought you were covering his mouth this time as a nod to the one you covered the eyes (yes I commented on that being slightly creepy, but I also said I loved the creepyness! I forget where I read it but something along the line that art is supposed to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed) , given that his collar looks like he is a reverend. Next in the series his ears covered? Love how the lady on the former seascape turned out, the way the breaking waves became a mountain range dividing the image . . .As for Windows the use of colour on her and the way she over laps onto the frame, perfect. Great work Andrew, who's ever home they end up in are going to be some lucky people!
I'm so glad your channel found me!
Love this interpretation! Thanks for sharing ❤️
The man turned out great! I bet as a pattern-maker, he was a quiet man??( his mouth is obscured- an interesting touch).
I love these art pieces! I'm sorry if you've already mentioned it but what kind of printer/paper do you use? I know inkjet ink can bleed, and is this regular copy paper or do you use thicker paper? Thank you!
Regular copy paper with an inkjet printer! It definitely bleeds… and the thin paper can soak through when watery washes are applied… but I think that just adds to the look!
@@REISSUEDYou might want to try making your copies on a professional laser copier.
I have also used architect offices printers because they can use larger paper and I love blueprint blue.
It would add some variety to your work.
😺✌️
Awesome! And a very courageous. To start this process...omg
You totally inspire me! Do you use an ink jet or laser printer for your images? I use ink jet and have had ink runs in the past.
Ink jet! Not always the best print quality… but I like the challenges and surprises that come with that!
I like these. I think this type of art works best on frameless canvas. My favorite is the one with the split down the middle.
You're amazing! Love seeing your art evolve... Pieces of you is my favourite... But they are all fabulous x
Thank you so much! I’m so glad you like them!
I really like this content, this made me subscribe.
You inspire me! I was looking through my stack of thrifted art last night and here’s your video this morning. Just discovered your channel recently and love what you do!
Thanks Eva! Yeah you know how I goes then haha. I love to have lots to work with on hand… but I also need to declutter a bit 😂 I’m so glad you found me!
You have a unique style! Really love your work 😊
That was amazing, thanks for sharing.
Great video! I love your work!
I'm really loving your art.
Gorgeous and so creative!
All three are really interesting
I love your work Andrew every episode is great - informative and inspiring. I do miss the clothing makeovers though, so any chance we will get one of these again soon?
Hey there! Yeah it’s been a minute since I did a clothing video since my home renovation has been taking over my life 😂. But I’ll keep an eye out for new clothing projects! Anything in particular you’d like to see me make?
@@REISSUED A jacket - denim or maybe a blazer repurposed with paint and collage in a similar style to your recent artworks?? Challenge extended!
Discovered you recently and I love! your art and content. I'm sure you already know but audio needs improvement. Lots of highs and lows. Regardless, I love it and keep showing and sharing sharing your style ❤ silly heart emoji
Hey Amanda! Thanks for the feedback! Always looking to make things better. I’ll try to focus more on balancing things out. I’m open to any tips if you have them… audio is my weak point when it comes to editing!
Interesting!! I did indeed love when you highlighted the small one's eyes- transformed it! Gave me some things to think about and try. Thank you. Just discovered you today!
Hey Julie! Yeah the eyes really made that one come alive! Glad you found me!
I could watch you paint for hours, it's mesmerizing. You never disappoint when it comes to adding color and texture. Perfection!
Thank you so much! ❤️
LOVE this! and the cameo at the end!!
I am one that was not sure about the covering of the eyes in your prior video, however I wouldn’t say it, but how you explained it made so much sense and opened my “eyes” on interpretation, I absolutely love all of your art work🥰 and videos
I’m glad you found that helpful! Again, it doesn’t have to work for everyone… but I think it can be so interesting to hear what artists are thinking about so I thought I would share. Thank you so much for watching!
Inspire to create 🫶
I don’t understand why you don’t have at least five times as many subscribers . You are extremely talented and your artwork is brilliant
Aw thank you! We are growing a lot here lately - which is very exciting! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and show your support ❤️
I love that you kept with the theme of the drips on the male portrait. I appreciated the covering of the eyes. I can hear them saying "You don't know me!" 🙂
Yeah I think that the drips layered under the patterns and then again on top of them gives a cool effect! Haha I love that response!
I get so focussed on realism when I paint but watching you work makes me want to be much more free and loose. I really like the patterns on the paintings. Very nice touch.
Yeah it’s freeing to allow the paint to do its thing a bit! Give it a try!
What do you use the wall paper for from good will? Would like to see something you make with it I have a bunch of scrap wall paper.
I’ll keep that in mind! I’ve been wanting to layer some old wallpaper pieces into my work for texture and pattern… but haven’t found any I like just yet!
I find ur process with art to be very soothing and inspiring thank you for sharing this part of ur creative process. Also, my personal view on the previous pieces is that I like you choice to cover up the eyes. I am a fan of street art and art that makes u want to think deeper into its meaning which was achieved, for me, by your choice to cover the eyes. Yes it can be unsettling for some but I feel good art should evoke an emotional response. Excited to see how ur skills evolve over time.
Thanks Brett!
Perfectly imperfect is the word you are looking for. That is the ethos of all my artworks.
Love that!
Loved the small one so much
So cool, thanks
So creative
I absolutely love the “pieces of you”. Stunnnnning❤
Thanks Chelsea!
Wow 🏆
Wow!
I loved the man, the pattermaker. You are good with color too
Thanks Connie!
I absolutely love the Pieces of You video. I wish you had digital downloads of that one.
Where do you sell your work? I live in Atlanta.
Hey there! Selling today at the market in downtown Newnan!
Gosh, I love all three pictures, but I totally fell in love with the smaller one.
Thank you for this inspirational video :)))
Greetings from Slovenia.
Thank you for addressing the "covering of the eyes." At the time maybe your subconscious was trying to work out what it thought was a lack of 'uncomfortable?' :) Our irrational side usually wants to have a big say in artistic endeavors. 😊
I really like your thrifted art upcycle piece's. The one where her face is bigger on one side maybe call that one split personality. They're all very cool! I can't wait to give it a try.
Oops... hadn't finished the video yet where you named them...lol! I like those names too.
I think the term is called: Representational artwork.Definition: dichotomous in that they present us with two distinct aspects at once. I'm not sure tho! lmao I also share your love of juxtipositional vibes.
Deine Kunst ist sehr besonders...love it🖌🎨
Advice is free and worth just as much. That said, it would be great if your exploration of technique and expression was focused on a personal trauma/local historical story that unifies the works, and together forms a work that delves into multiple aspects of an issue that bothers you/has touched your life. A bigger story that is at the same time personal to you and universal. A great inspiration is the work of the stained glass artist Judith Schaechter.
On a separate note, that mustache is excellent.
Yaaaaaaa I am watching you as soon after you post. This is exciting. I love watching your progress!
You are so creative…I also love your thought process on creating .
Thanks Laurie! ❤️❤️❤️
Love your channel! The soft music is relaxing and the transformations of art inspire me to do the same. Thanks for the tip of the rasterbator 🍆!
I think you are a good artist and I like that you use the mass produced painting that are in all the thrift stores everywhere it is a good upcycle ! On a personal note which you do not have to answer however What is with all the t-shirts because of July 4th. Not sure on what you are saying guns and skeletons 🤣 Have a good day.
💖💖🎶🎶
thank you. so inspiring!
Thanks for watching! Glad you’re feeling inspired ❤️
Love watching the creative process! You are very talented. Love Pieces of you. But each piece turned out lovely. You won’t have any problems selling these!!!
Aw thank you so much! I appreciate your support ❤️
I love what you do with these thrifted (and personal) art pieces! So fun to watch the process and hope you keep doing these ♥
Personally I've been inspired by old photos with my own art, either recreating them in acrylics or using in a collage. So fun 😊.
I looove your art and your working process, it reminds me a bit of my art and how I gravitate towards making art! It’s so satisfying to see you create ❤️ thank you and don’t stop!
Are the images you print out to start with not copyrighted?
Your pores ooze creativity!!!!!!🎉
I loved the way the artwork turned out.
Are you printing them out on regular printer paper?
Yep!
@REISSUED thank you for the inspiration!
It’s riveting for me to watch how you work through the creative process. I often step away, sometimes long periods of time before I’m ready to get the next or final step done. I’m not an artist, just someone who loves to do this in my spare time and it’s reassuring to know that someone like you, who is really talented, has to do the same thing. Also, I don’t always like every piece of art I see, but I don’t have to - it’s created by the artist perspective and I take what I like from it. I always respect what has been created regardless of if I like it or if it doesn’t do it for me. You’re fun to watch and listen to - thanks for the videos👍
Love this perspective Karen! Thanks for watching! ❤️
Your audio is off…?
Do more artwork
❤❤❤
I love this art technique so much!!
Thank you! It’s definitely a fun process!
The word that comes to my mind with these pieces is ‘adulthood’. Losing our innocence and “purity” but are still beautifully broken.
Absolutely. Well said. Excuse me while I go cry now 😭😂
It's me agaian. On first sight, I saw only top halfof the image of your shirt and thought it was the hump of an elephant. I see I was mistaken. Sorry.
Remember, in polite society we do not talk about religion and politics. Your Republican shirt is offensive to me. I can only think of you know who. And the gentleman whose eyes you covered up looks nothing like you.
If you're offensive over anything id get a mental check up
Really enjoy your vids, but for the love of God, please get your one arm under control. It’s so distracting!
