Artist's Comments

This is a recent art project that took MONTHS of cutting magazines into bits and gluing until my fingers stuck together (literally).

It's based off of a Van Gogh called "The Postman Joseph Roulin", but our class christened him rupert. because come on, he has a green beard. that's so cool.

the pic's a little smudgy because i took it between classes while the thing was hanging in the gallery.. not the greatest light setting either. but i'm still proud.

wow...this is very cool. i know how it feels to clue so much your fingers stick together.....i make silly little mosaic thingys....from magazines, but they dont take nearly as long as this did. and instead of cutting the magazines with scissors, i use a hole puncher. i cheat!
Very nice job on this...it must of taken a lot of patience

you are too kind. and by the way, cutting out with a hole punch is by no means cheating... i can imagine that was extremely frustrating as well. and sorry it took so long to reply to your comment, but i really do appreciate it!
