Loving The Alien
To date, this is the largest collage I've ever done. It takes up the entire door to my second bedroom and is comprised of 175 separate images. It took me over two months to collect, cut and paste these images. I went through an entire bottle of rubber cement and two Exacto knife blades.

My progress for this project was documented in a series of blog that I posted on my Myspace page.

The X-Files
This is among the oldest of my collages. I did this one in 1998, around the time "Fight The Future" was released. Aside from magazine clippings and computer printouts, I also assembled an X out of felt scaps for the center of the piece.

Bizarre
This is the first of two round collages I did for a table top in my living room in Fall 2005. Most of these images are taken from some old issues of Bizarre Magazine that I found at a garage sale one summer. That poor dude on the left had the better part of his face eaten by a bear.

Crystal Ball
Created in April 2008, this collage is what I decided to do with all my free time when my dojo closed for a long weekend.

Like Employee of the Month, Crystal Ball with an eye towards eliminating images that my job's HR department wouldn't like.

Doughboy
This collage was a product of too much free time in my art class in high school. I believe it's the first collage I've ever done. It's in bad shape now, but time does that to art. Note the white space in collages. I'm very opposed to white space in collages, so when I was done with this one, I used an exacto knife to cut the white space out. Nowadays, I just use larger magazine clippings as backgrounds wherever I can.

Employee of the Month
Employee of the Month was created in 2009 for the cubicle at my current job. Most of the collages I created for the workspace at my old job aren't usable at my new job because there are images of weapons and/or scantily clad women.

To add to the fun, there are several images on here that were found in magazines printed by the publishing company I work for.

The title comes from the frame that the Buddha statue is holding up.

All Eyes On The Empty Girl
This is the second collage I designed for a tabletop in my living room. I spent several months slashing fashion magazines looking for eyes for this collage. At first, I was just going to randomly place around the girl's head, but eventually I decided to organize them. Blue and grey eyes on the left, brown and hazel eyes on the right. The girl in the middle is Evan Rachel Wood.

Harry Potter
I first assembled this collage in late 2005 after attending the release of the sixth book with some friends. Because Harry Potter is still in the media, This collage is ever changing and expanding. I keep clippings of pictures and ads from the news.

Heaven and Hell
I did this collage for a basic drawing class in collage back in 1999 or 2000. It's more text than I usually like to use, but they all followed a loose religious theme. The eye in the lower right hand corner belongs to Timothy McVeigh.

Obsession
Instead of just making a collage of pretty models, which anyone with a stack of Maxim magazine issues could've done, I took a bunch of these pictures and photocopied them. To me, using photocopies instead of the original images removed the color, texture and depth of these images. The words are a simple critique of how self-obsessed people are with their own appearance. That face in the center is Josie Maran. After photocopying her face, I tore the eyes and lips out of the original image and pasted them right over the copy.

Cubicle 1
In 2005, my cubicle was gray, boring, and fatally dismal. At first, I would hang whatever extra posters I could get my hands on, but then it occured to me that I had about 10 years worth of magazine clippings sitting in my house and no real plan to use them, so why not create a series of colorful, completely random collages to brighten the shit hole that was my workplace? This is the first collage.

Cubicle 2
Originally, my vision was to have 4 collages on a set of cupboard doors behind me, but my boss thought they were ugly, so he made me move them some place where he wouldn't have to see them. As it turns out, I liked them better behind my computer monitor where I could see them more.

Cubicle 3
Because I knew these would be displayed together, I put recurring images in each of them. For instance, every collage has a picture of Diet Coke and a picture of Borat. How many others can you find?

Cubicle 4
I have a tendency to put similar images together subconsciously. In this one, I paid a little more attention to the placement of images and wound up with some pretty funny pairings if you're looking at them. For instance, the placement of the Weinermobile next to Borat's crotch is not an accident.

Cubicle 5
Once I was past the first 4 that were originally conceived to cover cabinets, I just kept going.  My perception behind this one was displaying everything that was giving the orangutan a headache.

Cubicle 6
This is the last of the collages that went up at Baron's, Circa 2006.  The recurring images from the first 4 continue in this one and in futre collages.

Cubicle Collage
All 6 collages as they were up in my cubicle in 2006.  They now hang in my home office, along with my newest project, a mural collage.
