Aka: Unus Annus may be dead, but my late night spur-of-the-moment ideas are not
So, I never had the chance to buy any of the merch. But, if there’s anything I’ve learned about the depths of my own insanity, it’s that I really, REALLY love costumry. Cosplay, making a Halloween costume by hand (rip fingies), you name it. I like it. So what better way to honor the beloved channel whose time has finally come, than to make an elaborate tribute outfit?
I plan on making a custom, handmade, 1950s themed black and white masquerade ball gown in memorium of Unus Annus. And I’m giving myself one year to make the entire thing. Now, I’ve made outfits by hand before (I literally did my Halloween costume by hand this year after my stupid sewing machine bit the dust), but this will be, without a doubt, the most ambitious undertaking of my entire life.
I’ve got two main dress concepts that I’m debating between (I’m kinda leaning towards the white one with black accents), but who knows? I may end up being even more extra and turning it into a transformation gown. I’m actually REALLY tempted to do that. But that’s still up in the air at this point.
Anyways, that’s all I wanted to share for now I’m highkey excited to do this if y’all couldn’t tell XD

HEROES and VILLAINS project!
Calling all heroes, antiheroes, and villains! It’s time for another project! This time, I will be suiting your characters up to either save the world… or end it. High-flying Boy Scout, bone breaking vigilante, or megalomaniacal space demon, everyone is welcome to participate!
I will also let you guys know right now; My favorite comics are Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Hellboy and John Constantine are some of my favorite characters. I consider Neo and Agent Smith perfect examples of flight, supernatural reflexes, and replication. This is a space for ALL heroes, villains, and those in between, not just the ones in colorful spandex.
* SLOTS ARE INFINITE until I say otherwise.
Each slot starts at $100 USD ( all payments through Paypal and are due within a week of claiming the slot), and you can claim as many slots as you want; you pick the character you want ( it has to be an OC), and which powers you want them to have (3 at the most)! These are going to be in the same format as the Halloween project, so each slot will include a fully shaded digital bust and a simple background, with extra fees included for character complexities ( wings, extra limbs, etc…)
+ $70 for each additional OC.
+ $50 for each additional character of my own design.
Just DM me if you want to claim a slot!
Have a favorite character or universe you’d like me to take inspiration from? A favorite outfit? Have other powers in mind that aren’t listed? Don’t want your character to have super powers at all? If you have any questions or requests, just let me know!

COLLAGE COMMUNITIES
Nashville Collage Collective
The Nashville Collage Collective was at first a collaborative foursome, Lisa Haddad, Eva Sochorova, robert bruce scott, and Randy L Purcell, which eventually became The Four Corners, allowing the Collective to open itself to the larger community. Meeting in studios and public places since 2010, members share whatever they bring to the table resulting in a communal stash of materials, cross-pollinating partnerships and inspiration for beginners and pros alike. The collective’s goal is to maintain the good thing that has evolved over the past decade: a safe space for expression with respect for any creative process involving the juxtaposition of stuff. MORE

COLLAGE ON VIEW
Sensitive
Carolyn Boll at Galerie ERGA in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, 30 March-3 April 2022. Using her collage book, A Day in the Life of a Highly Sensitive Person, as a departure point, Carolyn Boll’s “Sensitive” reflects the playful potential of the partnering between poetry, image, and dance. Just in time for National Poetry Month with this year’s theme of intimacy, Boll named the show “Sensitive” because of her collage book, created over many years of coming out, and also because of the layers of meaning the word has for her. It is a word that is too often used to suggest one should be less sensitive than they are, when sensitivity is actually such a valuable gift. Boll also loves how the word evokes secrets as in “sensitive information“. MORE

COLLAGE ON VIEW
Men on Mars
Mary A. Johnson at Box13 ArtSpace in Houston, Texas, USA through 30 April 2022. A window glowing in pinks and reds of an imaginary Martian landscape reminiscent of the idealized American West, Men on Mars investigates how myth plays a central role in how we experience our own spaces and selves and colors our perception of others. It uses imagery of recent corporate space travel while sardonicizing themes of adventure, exploration and national exceptionalism found in mythic structures. The work pulls from ancient Chinese myth texts Shan Hai Jin and Journey to the West and hybridizes them with American mythology: historical (e.g., Paul Bunyan), contemporary (e.g., Captain America), and ideal (e.g., The American Dream).

Shattering Expectations
Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Society puts a lot of pressure on women to be a certain way. Elysé Jokinen creates collage art to shatter those expectations. Jokinen starts by collecting, altering and intuitively arranging images. Once the clippings find their perfect coordinates on the page, they’re glued by hand with classic rock playing in the background. Her work reminds viewers that there’s beauty in who you are, no matter what you’re told to be. It represents freedom, femininity, equality and yes, a bit of magic. MORE

COLLAGE ON VIEW
This Woman’s Work
at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts Alumni Gallery through 10 April 2022. “This Woman’s Work” is an exploration of the representation and materiality of the feminine in our culture through the manipulation of mass-produced materials and the performative and pastiche elements of post-modern discourse. Artists Ana Vizcarra Rankin, Daria Souvorova, Sofya Mirvis, and Brian James Spies explore what femininity is in our culture right now through mediums and methodologies rooted as much in traditional notions of “women’s work” as they are in dialogue with contemporary art and culture.
