The Power of Collage! (Wondermark, David Malki, Squirrel Girl)

David Malki, creator of WONDERMARK, contributed a page to issue 9 (V2) of The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl (if you're not reading it, you really should be)*. In the post linked below, he details the process he used in creating the piece. Malki does a great job showing the work that he puts into creating a collage, and how invisible that labor can be. Computer technology has done a lot to make the creative process seem easy. It is important to see the steps and care that a hard-working creator puts into even a single piece, to show how much thought and practice making art takes.

*Yes, you should read it, but buy them in back issue bins so Marvel/Disney doesn’t get any more money.
