I love these minimalist collages! One of the beauties of collage is that it can be ultra simple or ultra complex. Both take skill and taste and eye for composition.

I also relate to the hesitancy to call them illustrations (also a mediocre drawer here) but I think it’s an accurate term.

Thanks, Nathaniel! I know, right? Glad you agree. I'm simply having fun and following my curiosity to see where things lead. And, this was how they all landed. Thanks for chiming in and for looking!

These are so cool, Stella! I love the way you used the colors. And I enjoy the minimal look of these collages. You are very good at what you do!! Labels are for sure overrated.

And, the mezzo soprano who sang the French national anthem was spectacular. Such an amazing performance!

Thank you, Manuela! I appreciate it. And yes, what a mesmerizing performance on the top of the Grand Palais no less!

Loving these images. Especially since I just spent a day driving around Palm Springs and taking in the mid century modern architecture.

Thank you, Jenny! So wonderful to hear that you got to drive around Palm Springs— that’s one of the things I’d like to do at some point. Stay cool! So hot out there in the desert right now. Take care
