FUCKING LEAVE SUBSTACK
NO SHIT THEY SUPPORT NAZIS
IF YOU BIG PUBS LEFT SUBSTACK
THEY WOULD HAVE LESS $$ FFS
a lot of us already made the leap because we believe that fighting fascism is more important than doing the easy thing and complaining about it
hey support NAZI-FREE liberatory writing:
"Surely Minnesotans won't fight back," racists in 1863 and 2026
The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back
Artemis II crew: earthβs haunted
it has the energy of drawing a tarot card inverted, to me

A photo of a door on the L in Chicago. There's graffiti on the bottom in white that reads "u can't eat money." In the window at the top of the door in black is graffiti that reads "nobody is illegal on stolen land."
Folks on the CTA are going hard today

if you wanna see more of my collage work, I also post some stuff on instagram, same username as here.
anyways have a good night, fellow transsexuals and freako goblins πππ½β¨οΈ
a black and white analog collage with figures evoking cars and monsters, women and tools, boots and ties, guns and forks, rooster and a hand with crossed fingers. elements are aligned with some barely-there grid, throughlines across elements are visible and sometimes literal lines of tape. the only readable text says "does s(he) or doesn't s(he)."
does s(he) or doesn't s(he)?
analog collage, 20"x20".
anyways they viewed Rosemont as the """safe part of Chicago""" and enjoyed its many horrible amenities, but are wary to go there more than once a year.
they were surprised to be meeting a relation that lives in chicago, so different etc. (it is not common to move away to a Big City where I am from)
they told me all about the one place they get food in Rosemont and wanted to know if I'd been there, and gosh things sure are expensive in Chicago!!
I met two distant cousins at a family event in wisconsin a few years back. they plow snow for a living, and the only time they regularly leave rural/far suburban Wisconsin is to attend a snow plow conference in "Chicago" (Rosemont). they would not understand that Rosemont is not downtown Chicago.
I really prefer to maintain the analog medium of my collage works, and avoid anything more than light edits digitally to like, color curves 'n stuff.
anyways, this is like 85% done, I'll pick this back up later. ππΆπ½π
trying to decide if I wanna fill the exposed white areas between pieces, or leave it as-is. maybe some drawn black lines or thing black tape. pencil, or felt tip pen probably.
I'm also considering just a smidge of digital editing, to even out the greyscales across the images.
I only lightly glue elements, and just in their centers during this process. makes it easier to slip things under one another or to fully relocate elements. this is why I'm so picky about the glue sticks I use hahahah
okay so not to be like "draw the rest of the owl" but next I expanded on existing themes. more cars, more women, more bold decorative text, more curves more straight lines aligned.
I've developed a sort of dark bottom/left area, lighter on the upper right.
oops my hand slipped and I accidentally added all these gender elements, how very transgender oh no oh my
a rooster in a sweater, more unreadable text, diagrams on how to tie a bow tie, composition book texture. a diagonal and readable bit of text: Does s(he) or doesn't s(he)?
adding more text as texture, this time I've cut the text down to maybe 30% of its line height, so not readable. adding some white-on-black images and text for contrast.
materials: UHU gluestick (I promise these are so much better than cheap gluesticks), a spring action scissors, and a stainless steel ruler.
i very rarely fussy cut because it just stresses me out hahahaha. I tear rough lines, or straight lines with a ruler, or short precise lines with scissors.
oh also I have no plan for this collage, just some restrictions I'll probably break later on hahahah. so far this is background. everything is intended to have an equal visual hierarchy.
this is secretly a thread about how collage is art about graphic design. π€«
especially if you're using collage as art/layout for a zine, you gotta make sure decorative text can't be read. flip it upside down or sideways, cut letters off, crop it too tight.
even if you turn this text around all you can read is " e to go." and "HE ONE ON THE ECON" and "THE LEFT IS OMY CAR."
if you've seen my award-winning ttrpg graphic design in Deadly Weapons and you want to build your own collage skills, you should check out this thread. π½π¨βπ¨βοΈ
tip for not getting distracted by reading, harvest the magazine back to front. this helps remove context from the images, and i find it easier to notice interesting bits this way.
also helps me see text as shape/texture/form instead of the meaning of the words. I loooove unreadable text in my work.
a good find, but idk if I'll use it in this, or save it for another piece.
"who's responsible for a nuclear holocaust? the fools who push the button, or the fools who elect them? - women against military madness"
this magazine is from november/december 1977, and highlights design for things like trade ads, packaging, book jackets, letterhead, posters, consumer magazine ads etc.
one of the hardest parts of collage is getting distracted just reading the thing you are harvesting, hahah
some black and white images, glued down but only loosely. aligned straight lines, but stripped of context. a bootprint, a hand with a fork. very small storybook pixtures in a grid, a smiling drawing of a retro woman.
an abstract explosion of tiny greyscale images. text rotated to be unreadable.
i used to livetweet tech conferences, whatabout i live post my collage process.
not adding alt text, captioning images fully in the posts.
