I’ve altered a few of my colored photographs into black and white. This will help me better distinguish the shadows, highlights and gradation throughout the drawings. At this point I plan on drawing the Kodiak Bear Cubs using charcoal but I might use some cont’e chalk.
The Kodiak Cub Bear project continues, as I’ve begun sifting through almost a thousand photographs that I’ve taken of Munsey and Boda since they arrived in late October of 2015 . Since late October through November and into early December of 2015 I spent 10 hours a week observing and photographing the cubs at Wildwood Park and Zoo in Marshfield WI. I felt that it was vital to dedicate as many hours as possible document the cubs as they were adjusting to their new habitat and observe the cubs they interacted with each other. I’ve also spent many hours contacting as many people involved in rescuing the Kodiak Bear Cubs and share some of the photographs of the cubs. I plan on creating artwork that will be both visually interesting to the viewer’s eye but also educational and provide some financial support dedicated to the cubs through the sales of my artwork.
For the past five years I’ve been participating in the International Collage and Exchange held in New Zealand and orchestrated by Dale Copeland. This is the link to learn more about the International Collage Exchange and Sale. http://outofsight.co.nz/Dale/collage.htm
The artwork and information posted under this heading are a sample of the six collages that I entered in the 2014 International Collage Exchange and Sale.

Title : Legato:
The collage is created from textile as the background. I’ve incorporated an experimental drawing under the reproduction image printed onto a plastic sheet as the mid-ground of the composition. The dancers and small square and rectangles formations are sections from two different original Intaglio prints which I applied as the foreground of the composition. I added the dancers in such an arrangement to play with the formations in an interesting arrangement to create more visual interest to the compositions.
I decided to use a music term for my title because I often incorporate sheet music when creating original Intaglio prints that incorporate into my collages
and other artwork.
