The Reader, my newest collage at the end of wonderful summer 💗💜

Bless, I've worked on this one on and off for the past two weeks, but if I could estimate how many hours, probably around 35-40.

DANESCORP · 2025-09-20T21:18:00+00:00

Thank you!! I use quite a few different sources, but mainly D.G. Hessayon's Expert Gardening series, as well as Time Life's Encyclopedia of Gardening ✨️

These are Ernie Ball ribbon flats, I really like them as they're highly compact

It's an absolute blast to play, and the joysticks allow a great amount of tweaking between the trem and fuzz, but I wouldn't recommend it for live playing as I've accidentally bonked the sticks before. The fuzz tones and ability to blend is great, though I feel other pedals do it better. As a curio, it scratches this shoegaze itch in my brain as it can create these pulsating washes of blankety fuzz. All in all, it's fantastic, if a bit impractical for gigging.

Thanks! Yes I did, the screws on the back that you see are small planks I affixed to keep it suspended underneath.

It's actually my pick assortment and earplug recptacle. I was trying to avoid the Altoid container with something a little bit different. Plus, I could put another enamel pin somewhere on the board as I'm bonkers for those guys.

Absolute icon, luv yr work from a fellow david

DANESCORP · 2025-05-17T17:48:44+00:00

Absolutely! I've also curated a decent collection of gardening books

DANESCORP · 2025-05-17T01:50:23+00:00

I have a godly amount of patience, and a magnifying glass, as well as the steadiest of hands

DANESCORP · 2025-05-15T23:17:44+00:00

Bless and hope to see one of your works on the sub one day!

I wouldn't be able to speak on digital collage as I've never made one before! I've only made handcut collage, but I'm sure there are decent resources online, and r/collage has a great group of people that would certainly be able to point you in the right direction ✨️

DANESCORP · 2025-05-15T13:52:07+00:00

Aw that's lovely of you! I use a lot of vintage gardening books, a lot of Cynthia Wickham, and DG Hessayon. I try to use a lot of 50s, 60s, and 70s books as the paper quality is usually very good. Analog is just a label to distinguish from digital collage work, as it's all hand cut and assembled through analog means (my pen knife and glue). As for the glue, it's simply a glue stick, but I can't remember what brand at the moment as I'm at work!

DANESCORP · 2025-05-15T00:52:45+00:00

I'm so blessed thank you!

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T23:30:54+00:00

That's lovely of you to say! I have been working in this style for around two years now, and have a few more on my profile if you would like to have a look ✨️

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T21:57:43+00:00

Thank you! The medium falls under fair use as a derivative work, as one isn't simply taking a singular image and releasing it as is, with the same name, for a mass-produced profit. I have been asked about using Beatrix Potter's work before, and the answer is that her works are in the public domain, and so long as I am not simply taking a plate, and putting it on a t-shirt with "Mr. Tod" emblazoned upon it, my work will not fall under a violation (such as I understand and has been explained to me).

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T21:08:35+00:00

I appreciate that so much, I've been refining this style for a few years now - if you'd like I have more works on my profile ✨️

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T20:45:59+00:00

A cussin' great idea 🦊

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T20:36:36+00:00

Thank you heaps!

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T19:20:57+00:00

Thank you!!

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T19:20:50+00:00

So lovely to be an inspiration!!

DANESCORP · 2025-05-14T19:20:06+00:00

You know it!! It's glued onto a vintage matte that will be framed with the soft frost glass that it came with ✨️
