Dreamy, Surreal Magazine Collage Art! | Mini-collab with Flanzella | REISSUED
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- I'm making some collage art inspired by amazing artist and RUclipsr @flanzella! Her work utilizes vintage magazines and retro imagery to create striking, thought-provoking, and aesthetically satisfying collages.
So I'm pulling out the old 2010 W magazines again to create dreamy, curvy, sensual collages! With a lot of rearranging, a little glue, a touch of paint, and a little lost sleep, I'm so happy with how they turned out!
You can check out Leah's channel here - / @flanzella

Most people under estimate the incredible amount of time and thought that goes into a piece of art. So I really appreciate you sharing your whole process with us.
Of course! Always happy to share my process! Thanks for watching!
Artists just have different brains. They see things that aren't there, they make the broken things beautiful, and I wouldn't want to live in a world without them. Thank you for being an artist ❤
Aw this is such a beautiful thought! Thanks for sharing this with me ❤️
I have been making collages (as a hobby) since I was 15. I’m 31 now. When I was a teen, I’d walk to the Walgreens outside my neighborhood, stand in front of the magazine shelf and pick up 5 or 6 magazines at a time. Today, you can hardly find 5 (good) magazines at the store at all lol.
Anyway, from experience, it’s not an art form everyone appreciates 😂😂 but I imagine the viewers of your channel will. You killed it. Great compositions.
Thanks Paige! It’s so tricky to get right - all composition! But I’m glad you appreciate the effort and enjoyed the process! ❤️
I love what this young man does. There are a lot of people on RUclips who make lovely designs, but this man makes art. Fabulous job.
Aw thank you so much!
Loving the collages! As a painter I have to say that original art is the way to go. Original from an artist or as the creator yourself. Art is the soul jewelry for a space.
Absolutely!
Yes to other RUclipsrs going with basic art prints - your art is some of the most awesome parts of your home and design style. Would love to see an art tour of your home!!
Looks like fun to make! 'Mind blown' brought to mind amazon warrior princess Queen Kong. In 'Afterburn' I like the curve of the mans back, it's what I notice first. Flanzellas piece was wild too love cherubic faces. Haven't done collage since 2nd grade. Aww, belly rubs for ❤Queenie❤!
Since I am a Narrative Collage Architect of Surreal Imagery, I L-O-V-E your images and immensely enjoy this aspect of Art! There is something SO freeing about creating surreal images that reflect Life. Great imagination!!! MUCH Love & Respect... Deborah
Thank you so much Deborah!
The art I have in my home is a mix of thrifted or bought from artists. I will often try to figure out how to make my own things if I really like something but can't afford it. At this point I can't buy any more prints, because I have no room left on my walls😅. It kills me because I'm always finding pieces I love - I spend way too much time at craft fairs, thrift stores and yard sales. Gotta run, saw a yard sale sign up the street! Great video as always!
I know I’m gonna hit that place as some point when I can’t fit anymore art! But not there yet 😅 Thanks for watching! Have fun at the yard sale! ❤️
What a nice problem to have! You could try putting things away for a few months and switching your art out every season or year. I find it keeps my brain from canceling out what I've been seeing and making it invisible. (I hope that makes sense.)
@@liddybird3608 I do that with holiday prints but not year round. Good idea! I think you are correct, you stop seeing stuff in your home once you get used to it.
'sweet dream ' is so good! That's a keeper.
Thank you! Glad you like it!
I can sooooo relate to the "is this too simple, did I do enough?" block to listening to the inner true voice and not the critic voice. I feel you. "Finished is better than great" is my new mantra. So many people never get to the finish line. And who knows what "great" is anyway, am I right? Doing multiple pieces with the same materials has helped me...
I love that mantra! Thanks for sharing that ❤️
fun fact, the guy posing with Madonna in the DG ad is the singer Max when he was a teenager
Love the little picture frames
I have my own art in my home
I use paper napkins to make pictures, collage, sometimes I use sheet music, pages from books, paint. I use all sorts of things. Things from thrift stores I 🤎 getting second picture frames great video & art
I come from an illustration background and this is something I'm still constantly thinking about. The art that works great for a book or game don't always look like the best art to live with on your walls. But then again...sometimes taking the elements from a different genre and turning them into fine art is exactly what you're aiming for. Also, if you stick too close to historical painting, it can look out of place in a home.
For me personally, I grew up loving concept art for movies and video games, wildlife art, and certain painters from art history (like James John Audubon, Andrew Wyeth and Briton Riviere, ) and moody film stills of neighborhoods. So the challenge for me is figuring out the best way to combine these interests that is both enjoyable to create, efficient, and looks good to live with.
This is exactly what I’m talking about! Sometimes the artwork that is most interesting and that we have the greatest skill and enjoyment in creating is not the easiest to live with! But you are right that finding ways to combine these genres is super interesting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Excellent idea with the dating and printing option. Thank you so much for sharing with us!
I love that you took your time and explained the process. The creation of art iscrarely spontaneous and the impression by the viewer should not be either.
Old magazines are the way to go too since today magazines can be surpisingly expensive. Nice job.
Thank you ..really enjoyed your honesty in creating process..not always easy...and sometimes a mess(papers/glue/scissors..ect)🙈but how wonderful it is to create something new with a presence of its own🙌
I’ve been making collage birthday cards/pages lately. It’s a lot of fun and very personalized. ‘Art work’ would be quite an undertaking
Oh that’s such an amazing idea! Especially if you are able to have fun with it!
You always manage to make me smile. Amazing to see your creative process at play and just how incredible your eye is for art.
Hi Andrew! I have to tell you I haven't painted in years. I just lost my inspiration and courage at some point. But, I've started painting again after watching your videos and I want to thank you ❤️
Aw I love this! It can be so stressful o get started. I know I have so rev myself up every couple weeks to jump back in. But learning to trust yourself is worth the discomfort. Enjoy your painting process!
Fascinating insight to your process. Cool result!
I love watching you create art!
Andrew, these are amazing! I loved watching the reveal. Seeing the process is so cool after seeing the final product first. It really shows the importance of "trusting the process" with all those papers! I hope these three pieces find their homes! They're amazing! And really appreciated all of your information on choosing interior design friendly artworks. I agree with all of it!
Thanks Leah! This was such a fun collab!
I just love you! Your videos are amazing. I couldn’t agree more about how designers will work so hard on diy home projects and then when it comes to the art, it’s a snoozefest. For example, what I call “bewb” art. The ‘n’ or the ‘u’ shaped artwork and sculptures. Art cannot be an afterthought. Thank you for explanation and sharing that you do. I like it when you speed up your editing so we see the process but not in real time. I loved all three of your completed works and you turned me onto a new artist to follow @flanzella ‘s work was lovely. ✌🏼♥️😊
Mind blown! 😮 Thank you for sharing your process. Fantastic collaboration Andrew. Love them all!❤
Thank you! I’m so happy you enjoyed this collab!
All your pieces are lovely! I love the abstract narrative you're building with each of them.
Love each piece..👏👏👏👏💜💜💜
I’m an artist and an art collector as well. I don’t really think about it being interior design friendly. We just buy what we love.
Great job on these pieces.
Thanks Heather!
I'm just watching your videos having only just found your channel. An interesting rabbit hole....
I love your art❤ I made my art by myself, too. You are right it looks much better if it's in harmony with the interior. For me one of the best channel 😊
Aw thank you so much!
Thank you for this - once again - amazingly interesting video!
Loved to see the process and watch the pieces grow.
Love being part of the process. Your so talented!!!
Thank you so much!
Fading over time might even be complimentary. You never know
It’s true!
I think your art pieces are amazing, beautiful!😊❤️
Loved the collab, always so impressed to see the same genre of art done by different artists, you both did amazing work! Trying new things, especially when they’re scary, is the baseline of ALL of our energy and drive…the ebb and flow of being creative is so deeply dramatic. And the best art exudes those leaps and risks. Life blood and tears are sensed and the art comes to life because of it. Poetic, but I feel like it is so true, for me. It’s a beautiful sacrifice that you get to stand back, reminisce and re-live. Captivating.
❤ love this! I used to make collages many moons ago and thanks to you I'm reinspired and am now following your friend, too. Will definitely make some pieces to hang in my apartment. So cool...❤❤❤
Beautiful ❤
Well done! Even with the same concept to see the difference between yours and Leah's shows the different personality of each artist. Fun concept as I bought a piece of art from an estate sale that I don't like the image but bought mostly for the frame and mat. Been trying to figure out how to use my cousin's photography to create a unique piece. Thanks for the inspiration!
so beautiful !
Wow. You nailed this collage and I never thought to paint into mine! Inspiring. Gonna do that.
Such a great collaboration. Awesome artwork from both of you!❤
Thanks Dawn! I’m glad you like our pieces!
Now to go watch Leah's! 👋😊
I’m watching it right now!
@@REISSUED Her print transfer = Brave. Move- and I didn't really notice it at the end of yours! 😊
I'm torn between 'Mind Blown' and 'Sweet Dream' of yours, because I can't decide if the the man in 'Mind Blown' is supposed to be a "doll" or not... hence art being interesting. 😊
Love your style and your content - its different. I can tell you are an artist in many ways! And your parents and dog are soo cute
This was so inspiring! I loved this collage art walk-through! Your channel is so motivating. Thanks!
Thanks Amber! I’m so happy you’re feeling inspired!
I'm so excited about this work! Really, really interesting and wunderful!
Thank you so much! I’m glad you like it!
Love it!
Omg I need to see the short film!
Would love to share it soon!
I used to do alot of collaging as a teen but haven't done it since. It was my favourite hobby so much so, I did all the walls in my room. Thanks to you, I feel inspired to start collecting magazines again to cover my toilet room..thank you for awaking this dormant part of me🙏
Those were amazing Andrew. I find the covered eyes to be quite fascinating. And the black and white eye covering in 'Mindblown' . . . genius. Looking forward to next weeks video!
The black and white eye covering was a happy surprise! I’m so glad you noticed that!
Excellent video - so inspiring - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Motivating and inspiring! I appreciate you sharing the deciding, questioning and answering that went into the process.
I love your art 😍
*WOW* ! Your pieces look *AMAZING* ! I'm drawn to vintage landscapes and I've created some pieces that I love from my own photography of my dogs. Color palette is huge for me and you are dead on about "the Vibe" you get from a art piece. Fabulously inspirational video, thank you.
I’m so glad you’re inspired! Thanks for watching!
New subscriber. I just watched your other art video, as well. Love both these ideas. Gotta get to the Restore!
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I wouldn’t say that I’m into design friendly art, tho you’ve given food for thought. I tend to buy things that I love, I’m drawn to pen and ink, textile art, vintage advertising, funky one offs. I’m not sure I have a cohesive overall look, it’s more is more. I do thrift a lot of my frames because of cost. If I do a gallery wall I tend to mix either similar themes like trees or black and white drawings with pops of colors thrown in. I doubt it reflects any style but it feels right to me.
I love the collage work!
It’s funny… even though you may not see it as “design friendly,” it sounds like your taste and ways of putting things together are incredibly stylish!
I love seeing the process.
I love this idea! The pieces are awesome, they unfortunetaly don't fit in the color palette in our home or I would've bought a digital print. I especially love the poster style. But your video's are always so inspiring and I make me excited to continue working on our house (my partner and I bought a house last June and it is far from finished😅)
Haha I know the feeling! But no need to rush finishing! The process can be fun 👍🏻
This was so inspiring! Up until now i haven't hung much artwork. This kind of customization feels very obtainable. Love the Reissued esthetic!
You can do it! Thanks for watching ❤️
These are awesome! Loving this collab.
Are you going to make a dedicated space for creating in your home? LOVED the collab❣ Thanx so much!!
Yes that’s underway right now!
I would like to see your film. It looks awesome
I hope to share it with y’all at some point!
I wish I had the talent to create cool art. I just love what you’ve created!
Thank you so much April!
Andrew, you and Leah might consider finding a third collage artist and create an "Exquisite Corpse" art piece.(or three) Do you not use an Exacto or Excel knife instead of a utility knife when cutting paper for collage? I use an Excel swivel knife when cutting lacquer stencils for silkscreen work and find it amazingly fluid. I also love the torn edge when piecing together images as partial backdrops for paintings. While old magazine images are great resources for collage, I generally use photos I've taken and generously manipulate them digitally prior to printing and cutting/tearing. Since I use mucho graphite on my paintings, I usually seal everything with a coat of Kamar varnish. (aerosol). Just some thoughts. I enjoy the diversity of your project vlogs. Cheers Andrew.
I love your channel and your personality
First off, your kitchen is so great, but every room you’ve finished shows your creative mind at work. I am very simpatico with your style and every room in my own home is collected which really makes it a home. I have been interested in Interior design since the age of 12 . I have files of pages that I have torn from magazines of interior design mags as well as what you were working with in this video. I have a small trunk full of scraps and pages for future collages.
I love laying them out but when it comes to gluing them, not my favorite part of the process. I generally use glue stick which sometimes doesn’t work as the images sometimes bubble up in places. Do you have a suggestion on what you might use to adhere these scraps and cut outs to your mat or boards.
I’ve loved collages for years and have lost some fine ones stored in a leaky garage.
Anyway, I really enjoy your channel and watching how things progress within your home. Keep doing what you’re doing 😊..
Andrew this was a really inspired collaboration with Leah ( I follow both your channels) you both created some amazing artworks. I love that you worked in a series (I often do this too) your final three piece really work as a tryptich and te muted colours really worked to bring a unity to all three pieces,and then going in with ainting as well really completed each piece and again added to the unity and elevated all three collages to another level visually. I love that the final pieces are both graphic and painterly,that these two elemnts blended so well in all three pieces. The scale of hem also really works as well. I love surrealism,as its timeless and retro at the same time. I find it strange that covering te eyes in a piece divides opinions so much, but I cover the eyes in my wn digital collage art too,it adds an air of mystery and changes hw people ngage with a finished piece. It sounds like this collaboration pushed both you and Leah out of your creative comfort zones,but resulted in amazing pieces of finished artworks by both of you. (matt) P.s Leah in April began releasing a list of prompts for each month,mabye check them out and see if they inspire you. Thrift stores can really be treasure houses! for artists Collage is like a form of re-visioning which I love. (in the UK we called them second hand stores)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughtful feedback! Very insightful!
@@REISSUED I also found your page on Pintrest so am following you as an additional to following you here on RUclips
😎👍Very cool pieces.
I've been using magazine cut-outs in collages for years, and love your approach, and the results. So interesting to see how another artist is thinking! You mentioned using a particular fixative to protect the magazine pages. Could you tell me what product this is? I had trouble finding the mention when I went back to look for it.
Hey there! I have not purchased or tried the product just yet… but this is the one that Leah shared with me that I plan to purchase! www.michaels.com/product/krylon-workable-fixatif-10520155?cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_Shopping_US_N_Craft+%26+Hobbies_N_PMAX_BOPIS_N-_-&Kenshoo_ida=&kpid=go_cmp-18514199759_adg-_ad-__dev-m_ext-_prd-10520155&gbraid=0AAAAADkMxxe77My4q1s1NMYXZFYditHXA&gclid=CjwKCAjwxaanBhBQEiwA84TVXIG3VTwyu_eLxVkJuzTJz2-Zrv2JCko1r5r-dPiBmF2hEWppSWXFnRoCWHYQAvD_BwE
Andrew, how do you make your hair look so great? do you have a specific routine?
I love love love what you did! I have a collage picture i made that i would like to share with you.
Thank you! Would love to see your work!

@RelaxCutGlue I thought you’d enjoy this video so thought of you as I watched
