I wanted to make art that was large, so I decided to do hand-cut collages versus digital collages. Buying brand new canvases to attach a collage to seemed wasteful especially since there were so many other perfectly paintable surfaces available. I would scour thrift shops and roadsides to find random flat-ish surfaces like cabinet doors, fan blades, frying pans and broken laptops. I would paint on anything! I've always been into squeezing a last use out of something that may be otherwise discarded.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_0 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-image--26e4a7ce-cad5-4cce-b905-5f5b6d3bc5ba\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/youarewhatyoueat.jpg\" width=\"1529\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/youarewhatyoueat.jpg 1529w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/youarewhatyoueat-1280x586.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/youarewhatyoueat-980x449.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/youarewhatyoueat-480x220.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1529px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1393\" title=\"youarewhatyoueat\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-text--8be4a2bd-a327-4020-93ec-c87f7cf3dd8e\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>I would go to Kinkos and print out large black and white copies, cut them out, and then paint the background of my surface and fill in the black and white photo with paint, as you would with a coloring\u00a0 book. The effect was pretty cool and I was able to make larger art pieces affordably.<\/p>\n<p>Looking back on this I really like the ideas, but the execution makes me feel a little embarrassed. But I guess it\u2019s all about growth and not being too hard on myself. I may revisit these concepts later now that I have learned a lot more about construction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_1 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-image--26e4a7ce-cad5-4cce-b905-5f5b6d3bc5ba\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0024.jpg\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0024.jpg 1800w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0024-1280x857.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0024-980x656.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0024-480x321.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1800px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1396\" title=\"_DSC0024\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_image_2 et_pb_image et_animated et_pb_module et_block_module preset--module--divi-image--26e4a7ce-cad5-4cce-b905-5f5b6d3bc5ba\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0017.jpg\" width=\"1793\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0017.jpg 1793w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0017-1280x353.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0017-980x270.jpg 980w, https:\/\/shanthony.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/DSC0017-480x132.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 1793px, 100vw\" class=\"wp-image-1397\" title=\"_DSC0017\" \/><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2193,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-40-days-of-art"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1399"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2711,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions\/2711"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/shanthony.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
