You literally just blew my mind with the wax crayon rubbing after the cuts!!! What a GREAT IDEA!!!!
Me too!
Your work has influenced me so much over the past few months. I was mostly a digital artist before, but now I've been messing with all sorts of traditional mediums that I had never explored before. I've been loving making collage out of vintage horror comic print outs mixed with 40s and 50s advertising, and just random garbage I find around town. I've become this little pack rat, that's constantly collecting bits and pieces of paper to add texture to my work. I very much appreciate you sharing your art process and experiments with us.
music to my ears / ears : ) cheers GT
ikr .... find myself looking at random pieces of garbage on the street ..... neglecting my friends and duties lol
Absolutely stunning. You are so generous with your process you’re such a wonderful teacher. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏🏼🙏🏼❗️
Fascinating to watch the layers emerge
Admire your patience to this so complex multi layered art, an art in itself….cheers
Thank you so much sharing your processes and ideas.
You keep encouraging us to ask 'what if' and then just try it. 🙏
'what if' keeps me going!!!
Love the dedication to the piece. Of all the things I’ve learned on your channel, that concept is the most priceless 🤘🏼
You are a natural born teacher. Love your work!
: ) very kind, thanks
Absolutely amazing! I could see that collage/decollage you created hanging in a museum!
that's a lovely comment, thanks : )
W. O. W. This is so frustrating, in a way: I basically want to collect everything you make! ...Except, of course, for the fact that I think your work deserves the widest possible audience.
I particularly enjoy the idiosyncratic touch you bring to this process, with the selective cutting and peeling and replacing and coloring and covering and... all the rest of it. I also love the contrast and balance between the specificity of message in your percent sign and selection of materials, against the randomness of the pattern you create with it--both of which actually contribute clarity to the intended meaning. I sometimes feel frustrated by many people's incorporation of alphabet stencils, in rote order, when specific text could be so much more enriching to their work. Watching how you developed the whole idea, and hearing your reflections on the developing intention as you worked, was both very useful and insight-provoking. The work itself reminds me in some ways of the one in your "Gelli print 'scrap' pattern collage idea" episode. I think this work is more highly-developed, however.
I love the idea of customizing your materials by printing on the found papers that further reinforce your theme and statement, and the experiment with varying the scale. The way you adapted the found posters to the specifics of your work was also enlightening. Also, the idea of taking one or more rubbings, throughout the process. Brilliant! Definitely stashing those thoughts away for future use.
Also appreciate the sense you give of how, and how long, you worked on this piece. That's key information that often gets overlooked. It's rather relieving to know that this actually took some serious investment of time, beyond what we see on screen. Also, it's helpful realizing this is a process that permits intermittent work sessions. Always useful when dealing with Real Life.
Wonderful, wonderful video. Thank you yet again!
Helllo xenopticon, as ever, you've picked up on loads that i'm perhaps not even aware of when making! it's kind of like when I was back in collage and I took my work to class crits!! really valuable to me, thanks. i wasn't sure how this video or process would go down and am really pleased there are collage / decollage fans out there - i could literally spend days glueing, peeling, cutting!!
I’ve been watching your videos for months now, and I love them all. They always manage to challenge me to think of new approaches, and they always pique my curiosity for new techniques. But this collage/decollage video is my absolute favorite!
This has given me ideas that will feed me for weeks to come. Thank you for all your videos!
I'm so pleased you enjoyed this one Christine, wasn't sure if it would appeal but folks seem to like the techniques! Will have the sander out again on the weekend!!!
I am fairly new to collage and I had been struggling with piecing together mid-century designs created with a gelli-plate which was inspired by Tara Axford via GPS ( I'll be working my way through everyone's video as time allows). Now that I've watched this fab video I'm going to try incorporating your technique as the patterns I created are very repetitive and I feel I can achieve a far more interesting outcome than just by matching pieces of paper together (Tara does it beautifully). The Gelli plate will be out again to create more papers on the same theme to allow for cutting, shaping, adding, discarding... the list goes on, so much fun. Thank you so much for sharing all your art and inspiring ideas :)
you sure make it look like fun and good tips on how to knock out your" stuck in the rut" fog
Adorable. Stunning. Disruptive. Stimulating. Generous. Gorgeous. Creative. Passionate. And the list goes on. Thank you!
Disruptive, joyful process! I like the idea of sanding the paper. Can’t wait to try that!
This was fascinating to watch and I learnt so much and wow that wax crayon rubbing was brilliant ! ..Thankyou
Love love this……I do pieces using collage but never thought of de…collage! Thank you so much ….love your work.
More collage please.
More collage, no problem!!!
I really liked it and then you started sanding and was afraid you were overworking it. You added the bits of red and color, and it just popped . Very nice
It works!!!!! I’m enjoying it so much…..from the random collage and paint layers to cutting out the shapes….it’s amazing like doing surgery!!!! Thank you for the idea.
Not sure I should be trusted doing surgery!!
Unglaublich.....das ist viel arbeit, ganz viele liebe für das Werk mit dem vielen ab- und wieder auftragen.......unglaublich gute Kunst
Just stumbled on this- really great ideas to work on- the building up of layers at the start is particularly motivating.
Keep up the good work.
That collage and your process is so rad! It truly is! I love it because, as you said, “you never know what it’s going to reveal”.
Amazing. Such fun to watch. I'm going to be playing with decollage and inlay for sure! Thank you for your generosity.
I absolutely love your process, the discovery, the experimentation, the controlled chaos. The sanding was a great touch. I'd love to see you do a studio tour video, or at least show us how you organize all these little bits and bobs of paper. I'd imagine you don't throw anything away.
Trust me, you don't want to see my piles of collage material. I have a tolerant family.
I am so inspired by your work - you reminded me how much I love collage (and printmaking) and how much I miss it. Thank you for sharing! Love what you create!
This is taking collage to a whole new level, brilliant- more please!
Cheers Mary, glad you enjoyed it. I'll do some more on collage, maybe larger scale when the weather earms up again : )
Amazing work process and work. Love the interchange of negative positive shapes, varying the scale to ad interest.
This was enjoyable. I found your creative thought processes while you were working through your project, very interesting. Thank you for letting us into your head
Your control of a lot of associated processes creates a singular format.
This is really a collage sculpture that digs deep into the past and renews the graphic tradition.
The intensity of your approach is in direct contrast to the relaxing elemental output of gelli printer Art Whisperer, whose work I appreciate for different reasons.
I could imagine many artists who work in an opposite way wanting to collect your work for the very reason it is not like theirs but after so much focus and engagement I can imagine you would not let any piece go lightly.
Hopefully curators are also watching.
Really kind words Chris. After you mentioned whisperer, I checked it out, very soothing and elemental / organic work : )
I like the notion of adding and removing …
indeed, very satisfying : )
Thank you for taking the time to demonstrate this technique. I love this type of collage. Very urban.
Really pleased Linda, lots of joy to be had in ripping and cutting and peeling!
Just discovered your channel! I love this demo! What most impresses me is your fearless application and then removal, having no idea what will develop. Sanding, different adhesives, ripping off and laying right down again, dry or not dry-all new to a new collagist. Also, the speed of the video and narration are great. Rubbing and prints?! Wow! Love your concepts and vocabulary! I’m hooked at my first video!
Such a thoughtful message Susan, thank you. Collage is like a fun puzzle for me : )
I'm new to decollage and love how you've used it in this video. The overprint of repeated graphic pattern is something new to me as well, and I'll definitely try. Thanks for the great demo, tips and tricks!
great to hear! the overprint idea I have been playing with for a while and making this vid has given me loads of fresh momentum for larger scale pieces.
Love your stencil/ collage/ decollage work, and the clarity of your process demonstrations- thank you! I have physical issues with my hands, but I thought of a solution: using Illustrator or Photoshop, I reduce an image to two color, then to an outline. I bring this into the cricut workspace and the machine can cut the image for me. I've been using the thick covers of magazines as the stencil material, holds up to several prints.
I will definitely try. I love your cutting technique. The collage looks stunning. Greetings from Berlin.
Hi Brygia, I think you'll love the technique, especially with your beautiful hand printed papers and collage materials. I'm going to start a much bigger one using some of those posters I gathered in your home city!!!! Can't tell you how much I love Berlin!!!
This is so creative and awesome ... can watch you for hours with your scalpel.. so precise in a random way🤪 thx for sharing
Lol, i'd precisely take the liver out while aiming for a kidney!!!
Wow! That's definitely a process! Very clearly explained. I liked how the pieces you cut at the end looked like they were coming up from underneath. Tfs
I can get very lost in this type of process!!! Glad you enjoyed it pippi
It's mind boggling to watch you work, the patience and diligence you possess is inspiring!!
Really kind Deanna, i did get really absorbed by this one. Not often I have a clear idea of what I'm aiming for from the start, but I did in this case!!!!
@@yeatesmakes Where do you purchase your larger numeral and alphabet stencils? I'm having trouble finding a font or 2 I really like!
Oh fabulous! You’ve just given me so many ideas. I also want to rush off to Berlin, but meanwhile I’m going to buy a really good scalpel…and put a sander on my wish list. Thanks again🙏🙏🙏
Lots of fun and thank you, I have boxes of paper I couldn't throw away :) LOL Love the collage inspiration :)
YES! Just bought some canvas panels with no purpose in mind, about the same time you posted this. There's (at least one) American political issues that deserve this treatment. These are certainly, like your finance and economics, issues that confuse me. Have done a lot of covering up in collage but not the deconstructing. This is a great process and great process video. Thanks.
I'm getting really into canvas boards! hope the deconstructing approach helps you explore that issue : )
Oh wow, love your style! I am just flabbergasted!
Great! U ve been so generous at giving away fabulos ideas!😊
Fantastic Mark, I could watch this for hours. Thank you!
Lol, maybe I should do you a kind of ASMR live cast!!! unfortunately my house is VERY loud and i get a lot of interruptions!
@@yeatesmakes Haha...that would be great !
You make it all look so easy! I love collage, and I’m going to give that a try. I admire your work, and your passion for same.
Lol!, it wasn't easy!!!! Took a lot of fiddling around and, of course, not all the surprises are happy ones!!!
Beautiful work and a great experimental attitude! Nothing is precious! Just those two things can make a great change in the art we produce!
Lovely video with very easy to understand directions.
Love your use of the orbital sander to smooth and knock back collaged elements. I've used my orbital sander to make large scale felt images with wool roving atop fine nylon mesh.
Love my sander : ) !!
One of the most important takeaways for me from observing your process is such an impressive illustration of the value of NOT letting yourself get all precious about what you’ve already put down! (HA! Literally as I’m typing this you said it out loud 😄). I often get afraid of ruining some element that I genuinely do like, but I think I close off a lot of possibilities by holding onto one stage of a project while simultaneously (in theory ) trying to take it forward…
ALSO! Seeing that gorgeous rubbing has reminded me that I really have to figure out why I haven’t yet had any success with using crayon rubbings on the gel plate! So frustrating, because they have just an infinite range of possibilities for what they can bring to gel printed imagery, if I can only get the technique to actually work!
Heavy rubbing and a thin layer of paint Stella. it's funny, i've shelved the gel plate for image transfer because we have a heat wave in the UK and I reckon it's messing with the already short window this process allows!!!! Glad you liked the collage. i guess in art, like life, you got to be prepared to let go!!!! Lovely comment, thanks Stella : )
@@yeatesmakes good luck with that heat wave! It’s definitely frustrating how the gel plate is so extremely versatile but also deeply finicky in a way that means a technique that was working brilliantly yesterday could suddenly become a no-go and it’s not at all obvious why (heat waves being an exception where you know what’s going on 😁)
@@yeatesmakes Yes, the heat has made a difference in playing with the gelli plate. Like you said, do something else in the meantime.
Where heat waves and other vagaries are concerned, you might try using a retarder in your acrylics, to keep them workable for longer. This would, of course, also mean they need extra drying time for those parts of a process that require dry paint, such as when you pull a transfer image with a second color.
@@Xenopticon Thanks for the tip.
Just a great process and so generous with your knowledge . Many thanks. I have donated a very small amount -as much as I can afford but would be very happy to use affiliate links to art supplies if you could set that up for us all. I am sure your viewers would be supportive also.
Hugely appreciated, thank you JAM. Glad you enjoyed the process - I've been really surprised at how many people it resonated with. Enthusiasm for collage is alive and kicking!
Nice! Can’t wait to see more! Thanks for sharing, it's always a delight to see what you've come up with.
Hi Lori - I'll make some collage videos, I think. This one seems to be more popular than I thought it would be!
@@yeatesmakes Yay!
OUTSTANDING !
I can't wait to try this! This is such a fun method. Thank you for sharing. The little aside about making a wax crayon rubbing is fantastic!! ❤
: ) glad you enjoyed, thanks for taking time to comment
It's wonderful ! Always coming up with new techniques. I admire your pacience, cutting and cutting and cutting. : )
Cutting is very meditative for me : )
I had a very limited concept of collage. Again you shine a little light into my brain. Besides, it is always so exiting to watch an artist at work. Thanks, and all the best.
Hi there Marijke, collage is mind boggling in it's possibilities! I use it some much as part of mixed media approaches so it was lovely just to make a piece purely from collage for a change! Start playing...
Very inspiring, great work, and beautiful peace at the end! Thank you for sharing.
A pleasure to share, thanks for encouragement : )
W - O - W… this is so cool… !!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So interesting. I came back to watch this again.❤
Love your videos Mark and always better with rewatching.💖💖💖🇦🇺
😀cheers
Wow! That’s really cool!!! Love it!!!! Thank you for sharing your process! 😊👍🏻
Great timing - I ‘ve always been intrigued by found decollage on billboards and recently try to create them from scratch. Your work is enchanting and encouraging. Thanks. Mille Grazie! ✂️🎨🎶👏
Hi Sabine, I love those billboards and peeling posters : ))
Oh wow! You are right! Mark Bradford's work is so ingaging. I can understand why he inspired you to make this.
if you get chance to see his work in person, you must. His work, and Anselm Kiefer's, are the artists I would travel LONG distances to see!!!! For me, they are the most engaging contemporary artists out there.
Awesome video thanks! More collage please!
More collage? Easy!!!!! Hadn't realised it would be so popular!
@@yeatesmakes Yes, please add more of anything you feel like posting actually. You explain all your processes so easily and I for one get a lot of inspiration from just watching and absorbing your ideas, many of which are completely new to me. I never thought of adding all those different layers of collage and then sanding them down, and stripping some of the layers out.... brill. Gotta try it.
Love that technique. Looks amazing! Cool development...I am inspired to go back to collage. Haven't done some in a while. Saw some techniques I never considered...
This is fantastic! I love this piece and it was so interesting and exciting to see how you made it. Your ingenuity and patience are admirable. I really want to try some of these techniques. I've used similar techniques, but not to the extent that you're using them here. Great video! Thank You!
FINE ART collage, wonderful tecnick; very nice video,thank you.
Many thanks for this demo. I wish I had a British accent! Lol But really, I have been doing ripped layers of paper, torn off paint layers and restuck them in abstracts, but THIS is a step wayyyy up! Doing this today in my RV art space!
I'll trade my english accent for your RV work space, deal? ! x
and the rest of the RV, of course ; )
@@yeatesmakes If only! Lol
Wow this was incredible helpful. The techniques.
Love these techniques. Need to try. Thanks for the video!
Wow, thanks, this has freed my thinking so much!
Absolutely amazing--thanks for sharing the technique!
Given me lots of great ideas! Thanks 😊

Love it ! What a fun way to use collage and the result is amazing ! Thanks for sharing your process.
This is just wonderful. Great concept and visual execution.
I hope you’re making a better living off your channel than you would be teaching in a university! Much respect and gratitude
Ingenious work🙂
Really love the inlay idea. This piece is great.
Great video; both tips and comments on thoughts influencing the work✨
This is so excellent, thank you for sharing your talents!
cheers evetei. hopefully there's something in there for you to take away or spark an idea : )
Brilliant!!! Thank you for sharing your technique 🙏🏾

This is fantastic
This is fantastic!How wonderful and unselfish of you to share this!You have opened so many doors for me,I’m just starting to do collage and not even heard of décolleté but I’m so going to have a go!Would love to see some more of this kind of art..hopefully you’ll produce some soon…will be waiting patiently lol!Thankyou so much for sharing this!❤
This was fascinating to watch. Thanks for sharing. Founds loads of ideas to incorporate into my own art.
Music to my ears Joel : )
I can see a lot of ways to go with this. The way you use collage is very inspiring. I’d like to do a whole series of these. Also, I plan on using your videos as a sort of school to put myself through to experience all these techniques then interpret them to my own liking. Thanks so much!
Wow! I love it!
: ) thanks, glad you enjoyed
Fantastic....thank you so much ❤
You're amazing!
