These collage pieces are quite frankly some of the best ones I've ever seen! Until Nina posted this I never really thought of a college being used in this way. The conceptual work done in these pieces are just FANTASTIC!! "Skyrock" and "LifeCylinder" are particular favourites of mine, they're just so whimsy!
Thank you Nina for sharing :)

My grade 9 English teacher condemned my class from ever handing a collage in for a creative assignment, and for some reason ever since I've never thought of how collages could look beyond the teenage binder, Seventeen magazine...sort of thing (Not to bite :(, but I mean something like this). Obviously Ms. Wittlin had never seen collages past those kinds, as well.
I was looking around Flickr for collages for this weeks' post, and that's when I found Guy Catling (catters on flickr). He's not famous or anything I don't think, but more the reason to share his stuff =D

I like his collages because they're simple, and are able to convey some sort of message without being so inyourface. The collage power was really awesome to me (plus I can't help but giggle at that little rubber ducky--can you see it?), and the pieces like handofgod and skyrox remind me how small we all are in this world... but almost in a reassuring way. If that can make sense to you.
And this one above gave me an idea for my own collage :D
Best
