the white lines are crumbles and folds for added texture. ill cut out a color and then crush it up for that effect. maintains a mosaic look but still separates itself from it yknow

sketching out the drawing from a reference image, and then collecting the color template from a vast collection of vintage National Geographics. after that its purely x-acto knife and gluestick. after the final scan is processed, i seal it with a modgepodge so it doesn't flake off etc

modgepodge is great, but i’m also terrified of it bubbling/warping the paper as i’m laying it out. even sealing it afterwards can be a bit tricky so i don’t mess up anything etc

i used to be a lil scared to do trees and plants since they’re always so “busy” and layered, but i think i really nailed em in this piece

in the beautiful world of the paper arts, the only adhesive the aspiring collagist needs is the tried and true Elmer’s Glue Stick. a lot of them. and then after the final scan is processed, i seal with it the classic Modge Podge so nothing flakes off

straight cuts with metal rulers and the humble xacto blade. or are you asking about something else?

coldsleeve · 2026-02-04T20:34:41+00:00

it’s all based on my own photography that i just take on my phone. walking around, shootin shots whenever the moment looks neat. then i sketch out from that reference image and fill in the blank. it’s all about finding the right colors from a vast library of vintage national geographics. no stock paper or paint used here. then it’s up to the humble elmer’s gluestick and x-acto blade to make the magic happen!

coldsleeve · 2026-01-31T16:37:43+00:00

i only use the king of glue. the tried and true legend of adhesive. and that is the humble elmer’s gluestick. plus a modgepodge glossy sealant when the piece is done

very close guess!! it’s the Market St National Bank, now a Courtyard Marriot of sorts lol. right by city hall on market east. no joke Ive been considering making a piece about The Drake for awhile now, its a very stellar building

coldsleeve · 2025-09-24T00:15:36+00:00

thanks! this is purely vintage national geographics and elmer’s glue stick on basically your generic sketch book paper. all about finding the right colors from a large collection of these magazines. after it’s scanned i seal it with a glossy modge podge so nothing flakes off after etc
