Brought in collected ephemera for the collage task - I collect far too many things.
I had loads of old SHOUT! magazines from my sister and made some characters using these, but felt that they were too generic.
Anyone could find these tacky images. I want something more directly related to the circus.
It's hard to make contemporary teen fashion suit a Victorian Freakshow poster!
SOLUTION
Use more interesting images!
Look in library books.
I have lots of negatives and super 8 film bought from car boots, maybe I could use there?
Scanning in one of the packs of negatives I had in my drawer at uni already:
I've no clue what these negatives are of, where they were shot, who the people are and when they were taken. The plot thickens...
Groovy girl. Black and white is spooky and could be used to age my poster, making it look more authentic as an old fashioned circus.
This one is a blank and it is so grungy and beautiful. I could use this texture to make a background.
