Collaging can be so daunting because of the endless possibilities, but you really helped me with the various positioning and alignments. I'm so glad I watched
I'm actually thinking of getting into collage in a bit of a reversal from what you're talking about here. I live in my grandparents' house thats full of TONS of old magazines and I hate to just throw them all out, so why not give collage a try? We'll see if i get into it or not. You seem like you have a lot of great advice so I'll give you a sub!
Thank you so much - this was MOST helpful - quite a few places I had not yet thought of. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your imaginative collages! Deborah
As a vintage magazine collector it does hurt me seeing magazines get cut out, but the end result is what makes it worth it, aswell as the creativity of it.
hehe yep. That's why I called myself the Red Wizard, (like the red woman from GoT) I am sacrificing things, to hopefully make cooler things. there are some mags that I can't get myself to cut tho.
just ran across your channel. I have come across some great magazines at estate and yard/rummage sales. One estate had a box of about 20 magazines and got them for $4. If you get a chance to sign up for free emails from estate sale letters. You can look through the photos. If there are books, more than likely they will have magazines or other pamphlets.
Also , Women's Day , Good House Keeping , and McCalls are all excellent - excellent magazines to find interesting images . I have found old encyclopedias - dumped in the dumpster - at the local storage unit property . They have great possibilities..... as long as you don't get stuck reading about topics - that you never knew you had an interest in .
Beautiful work! I need to know where I'd potentially stand if i used old music press images in decoupage to create new, saleable products. Hard to find a definitive answer. Any advice?
Thanks! I love to collage too, and haven’t done much for several years now, and miss it. But at the moment, I simply cannot add to the stuff I already have from my other creative ventures, including a lot of vintage collectibles that I’ve decided to destash from and not try to resell. But it’s great when you can come across fantastic antique and vintage ephemera to add to your stash. It’s so much fun. ☝️The only warning I would say is this: you need to be actively doing collage or all that collecting can add up fast to a small (or large) hoard and you’ll likely lose track of all the great pieces you even have.
Love your channel, just discovered it this week. Are you able to do a vid on what happens after you've finished your collage and stuck it to your card stock. Where do you keep it, how do you preserve it, etc. I know you also sell your pieces as posters etc. That side of art collage would help so many of us. Thanks Red Wizard. 🙏☺⭐☪
this is the 1st "collage" video i've seen (why didn't i do a search for collage content?!). i'm looking forward to watching your videos. i love paper of all kinds & make cards & do scrapbooking w/photos. lately, as I became bed bound 3 yrs. ago, i've been doing a lot of collage & doing what comes naturally. i need to get my x-acto knife out - looks way easier than my scissors although i'm working in bed & would need some kind of work surface. you've taught me something new already! thanx
working directly on wood boards, game boards, and hardbook covers may be a good route. they are stiff enough that your background becomes a work surface.
this is a complicated question that really can only be decided by an analysis of each individual collage. but generally speaking, you have to be careful not to use other people's images when mass-producing work.
The reason of the question was an article in the Artist magazine, a recent Supreme Court ruling that Warhol violated the copyright law , Warhol infringed on the photographer’s photo of Prince in Warhol’s work.

Hi Deborah, happy new year to you! Peace and love!
Thanks for the tips! I’m always on the look out for new-to-me old magazines. This will keep me in paper for a while!
old books are great too!
How ironic ! I have that very same Technics cassette player in my living room !

It hurts me to see Sean Connery in that get up!

I'm getting back into collaging for the first time in *way too long*. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Enjoy, Foxy. Have fun
Thanks for the tips!
You got it!!
I love your podcast: would you mind to video record how you file and organize your paper stocks?
thank you! do you mean how i organize my cuttings?
Awesome! Who said you can't make a collage out of pink Barbie playhouses?! Huh? Huh?
sounds wild!

Awesome video, thanks so much for this! I am an assemblage/collage artist (just starting out) and found these tips to be very helpful.
awesome! collecting is half of the fun!

Collage and the law is very vague. I would stay away from press images. Much do that stuff would be owned by the band or the record label.
😍😍😍
I'm learning how to collage. Thank you for the tips! ❤🙏
You are so darling and so informative and really funny n a fellow Nyer!!!
Brilliant information!!!! Thanks for sharing!
for sure!
Thanks for the tips
you are welome!

you are correct. I have an insane amount of certain magazines i don't think i will ever use. knowing what you like is important too.
And here I thot I was the only one and a tad nuts. I AM NOT ALONE! (said like "I am NOT an ANIMAL!"). 🥳. SUBBED!!
Everyone is crazy, ya just gotta pick the right stuff to be crazy about.
I just smashed the fuck out of that subscribe button. About to check out the podcast. Needed this thankyou!
Haha thanks, Rodrick!

thanx! great idea & my mom goes to thrift stores often so she can find some books or game boards for me.
great vid!
thanks!
Who owns the copyright of the photos in your collage.
