My imaginary boyfriend, original art collage. Available. Sold.
I found this Swedish guy in a vintage book with lots of head shots of serious looking men. I think he is darling cute, with his big ears and his hair combed back with some grease. He is trying to look like a grown up even though he feels like a child on the inside still.
I decided to do a series of collages with this guy, and call him my pretend boyfriend, or my imaginary boyfriend. I’m not sure I need one, but if I did he might look like this guy… The text reads; Today my pretend boyfriend told me I don’t need to pretend any more. I bet he would say nice things all day long, and stroke my hair until I fell asleep at night.
Square collage 13×13 centimeters (5×5″), in the same series as Greetings from the forest.
Him again:
My imaginary boyfriend collage in a Ribba frame from IKEA.
Oh, how I love this, Hanna! :-)
It reminds me a little of when I was a teenager and write down all the things I wanted in a boy. :-p
It’s funny that your signature is in the “Approved by”. Love this! :-)
I love this piece and the bright colors you’ve chosen!
Thanks for commenting!
Fanie, to have an imaginary boyfriend is probably a bit juvenile but also childish fun! ;-)
Aly B, thank you too, all my favorite colours in this one. :-)
I like the idea of having a pretend boyfriend, then you don’t really have to keep him happy! This is great. xox Corrine
He looks like he might be cranky?
I have an imaginary boyfriend who does a lot of charity work and movies and looks a lot like George Clooney.

I sent my daughter (13) the link to your post and told her THIS is the kind of boyfriend she may have ;)
I love your art!
it?s very wonderful!
n?r jag jobbade p? Myrorna p? S?der, s? kom det in en man, och han s?g ut ungef?r som din l?tsaspojkv?n – j?ttetjusig! och till sitt stiliga friserade huvud hade han snickarkl?der, och det var n?nting med den brytningen som gjorde att det blev s? himla snyggt. den karlen fastnade i mitt minne!
