Awesome Collage

Whether or not there was a true rivalry, the media loved to play up the competition between The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. Dog & Rabbit’s brilliantly executed short film plays out this battle through a series of slapstick collages animated using the dueling rock bands’ album art. Terry Gilliam’s Monty Python animations were clearly a source of inspiration.

Cotopaxi’s playful backpacks are handmade from a collage of repurposed nylon. Each Del Día bag features a one-of-a-kind mix of fabrics selected by its maker and lovingly assembled into a work of wearable art. The 16-liter Tasra backpack has a large main compartment, two front pouches, numerous organizer pockets, and a padded laptop sleeve.

Felix Colgrave is known for his weirdly imaginative animations. His latest short film features a collage of silly creatures made of objects at the bottom of the sea. “Donks” comes from his 2-year-old’s pronunciation of “gonks,” the artist’s term for “things that are not categorically blocks or figurines or anything describable.”

Artist Rachel Evans creates maps of the world using a unique method. She uses hundreds of spiral shapes created with a Spirograph, then lays them out into collages representing each continent. Prints available here.

Artist Mark Wagner creates unbelievably intricate collages using U.S. currency. His diverse portfolio ranges from faces to plants to animals to complex scenes and his 14-panel masterwork – Lady Liberty. More here.
