amsterdam 1993

photo taken from a collage, made back in the days when collages were still made from cut out pieces of paper.

i love this, a.
truly do. would hang it on my wall in an instant. How large is it?

ha! it's very small.
maybe the size of a postcard.

but these days, these digital days, almost everything can be turned into a poster...

thanks, j. i love it too.

arcadia, dave, cecil - thanks for looking!

the digital pic is of very poor quality.
i scanned it in several years back, when i didn't yet have the slightest idea how to work with images on the computer. so trying to re-size the scan made the image all pixelled and grainy.

i have the original collage somewhere. maybe i should search for it and re-scan it, and make it look all good and real...

no.... i like the effect. ((but i might like the 'other scan' as well?))

well, the original looks pretty much like the above - just without pixels (instead, there's watercolour on ripped out paper and cut out photos and stuff).

i got it somewhere among my mess, i am sure. should i find it, i'll re-scan it.

judih wants a poster, after all !(!)
