Some Sunday Funday Absurdity in collage in the studio today!
Don't have a title for this one yet nor anything inspiring to say about it as it was really just an exploration in digital collage technique, but pretty stoked as to how it all came together!

I finished this photoshop composite collage today! When I set out to start it a few weeks ago, my thought was, "what if Alberto Vargas and Salvador Dali had a queer love child. What would he create?!"
And from that thought, this piece was born.

Sun spills gold on the skin of the earth,
cracks open the frost, wakes up the dirt.
I breathe in light, I exhale stone—
this body remembers, this body has grown.
Ostara, wheel turns, I rise too—
soft, wild, breaking through.

The oracle weeps in colors unseen, her gaze locked in eternity. A peacock sings prophecy, a statue reaches, but time does not yield. The pomegranates split—fate has spoken. Will you listen?

Decided it was time to give the facial hair a new look!
A surreal collage featuring two glowing green owl bookends with swirling, almost liquid-like textures. Their eyes shine with an eerie golden light as they sit on a wooden surface. Behind them, a twisted lighthouse rises from a flowing sea, its beacon casting a soft glow. A wooden door, slightly ajar, floats in the background, hinting at an unseen passage. The backdrop is deep purple with large, stylized floral patterns. The artwork is framed in blue and set against a bright cyan brick wall, evoking a sense of mystery, memory, and the unknown.
The owls had always been there, watching. Their eyes glowed, reflecting memories long buried. The lighthouse pulsed in the distance, guiding the lost. Then, the door creaked open. Some doors, once unlocked, never close again.

#CollageArt #Owl #SurrealArt
A surreal collage featuring a grayscale nude male figure sitting on the edge of a draped surface, his body partially in shadow. A golden halo surrounds his head, evoking a saintly or divine presence. Behind him, a massive, vibrant pink jellyfish with flowing tendrils emerges from a psychedelic background of swirling black-and-white waves, bright floral patterns, and bursts of rainbow colors. At his feet, two large red and white fly agaric mushrooms grow from the ground. The image is framed in white and set against a rich purple brick wall. The piece blends elements of mysticism, transformation, and the liminal space between dreams and reality.
He sat between worlds—one of flesh, one of dreams. The jellyfish swayed behind him, its tendrils whispering forgotten truths. The mushrooms at his feet pulsed with knowing. He was neither here nor there, only on the edge of becoming.

A surreal collage featuring a nude, grayscale male figure sitting in a dramatic pose, his head turned toward a barn owl perched on a branch. The owl gazes back, illuminated by the warm glow of a large rising or setting sun.

The owl watched as he sat in the quiet after the fire, skin bathed in moonlight, shadows of flames still flickering in his mind. “Rebirth,” the owl seemed to whisper. He exhaled, letting the past burn away.

A surreal collage artwork featuring a muscular, hairy, nude man wearing a trucker hat and a chain necklace. He stands confidently with one hand resting near his hip and the other hanging loosely at his side. Behind him, an American flag waves, but its traditional stripes morph into glittering rainbow colors. In the background, a vintage propaganda-style poster reads, "DEFEND AMERICAN FREEDOM – IT'S EVERYBODY'S JOB," featuring an old-fashioned soldier saluting. The artwork has a retro, textured feel, blending homoeroticism with patriotic imagery. The piece is framed in blue and set against a bright turquoise brick wall, evoking themes of queer freedom, masculinity, and subverting traditional ideals of nationalism.
They told him what freedom was—hard, unyielding, uniform. But he knew better. His freedom was flesh, sweat, and pride woven into the flag. He stood, unashamed, a new kind of patriot. Real liberty leaves no one behind. 🇺🇸🌈

A surreal collage artwork featuring a muscular, nude male figure with a head replaced by a crow, blooming flowers, and a golden crown. A vibrant rainbow extends diagonally behind him, contrasting with a backdrop of abstract geometric patterns, a snow-capped mountain, and vintage elements. Two smaller, grayscale male statues flank him—one gazing up in admiration, the other relaxed with arms crossed. The artwork is framed in yellow and set against a purple brick wall. The piece explores masculinity, transformation, and queer identity through a dreamlike lens.
He had no face, only a crown of blooms and a raven’s knowing gaze. They had tried to make him small, but he grew—strong, unyielding. The rainbow behind him was not just color; it was his lineage. He didn't speak. He didn't have to.

A surreal collage artwork featuring a large, green-toned muscular male figure standing in the center. He leans down with one hand on an old-fashioned television, which displays a nuclear explosion over water. At his feet, a group of classic green plastic army men are frozen mid-battle, holding rifles and rocket launchers. To his left, a fragmented portrait of a glamorous 1950s-style woman with red lips and colorful geometric overlays stares into the distance, her face partially obscured by black polka dots. The vibrant background is filled with swirling retro circles in shades of orange, yellow, and blue, contrasted with chaotic textures. The entire piece is framed in yellow and set against a blue brick wall. The artwork evokes themes of war, masculinity, nostalgia, and destruction.
War, desire, and nostalgia collide. Green army men march, a nuclear blast flickers on the TV, and a stone-like figure looms over it all. Echoes of the Fallout—a surreal clash of past and future.
