Not That It Matters

This is another mixed media collage. Here you can see the various stages that I went through to create this one. One thing I liked about this one in particular was the reuse of some very old art. For example, in the top left, there is a watercolor of a monkey that I did in 2016 or so. It was just sitting in a drawer so I pulled it out, ripped it up, and included it here.

If you don’t recognize that skater, that is Little Bang, as seen below:

I like this drawing for a lot of reasons and wanted to include it in this collage as a sticker. I had to bring in the original drawing, do some transforms, and add a white border along with some shadows to get that effect. I think it worked out well enough.
