Three new collages. I've stumbled into playing with circles. Circles are really radical when you're used to letting the shape of paper--almost always a rectangle--determine layout.  There's a fair amount of digital editing in these, I recently got the newest photoshop CC, and am using its tools. The round shape though came up because I also got a bunch of drawing templates from Goodwill, triangles, ovals, circles, and more.All the imagery from these comes from "Pictorial Encyclopedia of American History" Vol. 21, "Year 1972, Crusading For Peace--Election Upholds Goals". Published by the United States History Society. In part 3 of this triptych there's a small piece from a collectable program from the roadside attraction "Rock City".
