365 Collages | Week 38 | Not for Reading
These collages are not for reading, even though they have a lot of text on them. I wanted to try playing with typography in a graphic sense again, and it was lots of fun cutting up text. Some are kept legible, other parts are half covered or cut apart. I love the way they look, […]

365 Collages | Week 33 | Cut things away as you go
Fresh Vintage, a collage by iHanna. Isolation is aloneness that feels forced upon you, like a punishment. Solitude is aloneness you choose and embrace.
