Collage’s Competition

This week, Art of RetroCollage decided to enter a contest. In association with Studio 360, the artists Jerry N. Uelsmann and Maggie Taylor are sponsoring a “Listener’s Challenge”: the artists are providing ten different images, and challenging the website’s listeners to combine them into their own collages, in any way they like.

Here are two of my contest entries:

Erato’s Dream (2012). Digital collage created & copyright © by Eric Edelman. All rights reserved.

 

Between Mother and Father (2012). Digital collage created & copyright © by Eric Edelman. All rights reserved.

I hope to have a few more collages ready by the entry deadline, which is December 2nd.

  Best of luck to you in that contest Eric – I always enjoy seeing your work on WW!

  Have you checked out Inspire Me Monday? We have a lot of Mixed Media artists who would enjoy meeting you and seeing your art there as well!

  Have a wonderful week!

    Thanks very much! Looking forward as always to your latest creations. Thanks also for recommending Inspire Me Monday; I will be sure to check it out (if any day of the week could use inspiration, it’d be Monday, for sure). Have a happy WW and week!

    Thanks very much, Judy! I do hope one of my collages gets posted on the blog (being posted is the prize)–wider exposure is the thing! It’s always a pleasure to host you. Hope you enjoy WW & the rest of the week!

    Thanks very much, Erika! Most people who’ve expressed a preference have plumped for Between Mother and Father, so a contrary opinion is always welcome.

    Enjoy WW and the rest of your week!

      LOL, typical of me to be different! Perhaps it’s because it reminds me of one of Chagall’s works? He’s one of my favourite artists

      Reply
      • Eric Edelman November 28, 2012 at 2:05 pm edit

        That’s an interesting idea. I see what you mean about it being similar to some of Chagall’s stuff. I’m flattered; he’s a darn good artist! Keep on being your great different self, by the way; the world needs more people who think, see, and feel differently–and fewer who will give in and conform!
