To The Rescue

To The Rescue by Katie McCann
To The Rescue, a photo by Katie McCann on Flickr.

I am really trying to do collage 'sketches' at the moment. I don't want to get fixated on one piece so I am working on quick little collages every day. This one was inspired by the octopus and the doll! Sometimes I find a small image on my cluttered desk and I can build a whole collage around it - I guess this is what happened with the octopus.

Peculiar Animal I

This collage is inspired by the Peculiar Animals in Ransom Rigg's 'Hollow City' book that I am reading. It is the sequel to the amazing 'Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children'. I love these strange fairy tales and I want to do a series of the peculiar animals.
