paper collage and acrylic on cardboard panel
gregory a. milinovich
here is a collage i made yesterday. i am learning some new techniques with acrylic paint as well some other things. so, this was my first real adventure into using paint and paper in a collage. i had fun with it.
just thought i'd post that this morning. i have to go preach now...

i love it. i was actually checking out a little art show in the mall that i work at and there were some collages that were submitted. Two of which i didn't like because they were just magazine clippings of famous people...but one i really liked which used papers along with acrylic paint like you mentioned. i love the mixed mediums look.

Hey Greg, sometime between Friday and this post on Sunday you broke 1,000. Congrats. Although now that I know your secret maybe 1,000 just isn't that impressive....


(just kidding it is, especially if it's all you!)

thank you, emily. it feels good to reach 4 digits. actually, i am absolutely amazed that i get that many visitors based on the fact that it is the same 5 people who comment. weird. i feel like there are a host of voyeours out there, watching but not talking, like peeping toms, holding their breath so as not to be heard or seen or caught.

so, to all of you silent visitors, come out of the closet!

who goes there?

bad haircuts (for a laugh)

everybody needs to laugh.  one good way i have found to make that happen is to do a simple google image search for 'bad haircut.'  when you do so, some of the following gems show up.  thankfully, my 9th grade school picture does NOT show up.  otherwise, it would certianly make this list!  please laugh freely and without inhibition.  thank you and have a nice day.

happiness is dry underwear

we started potty training jack on thursday. we followed a program called POTTY TRAIN IN ONE DAY, which, by the way, i think is kind of crazy. i mean, if someone were to offer you a book called, "ACHIEVE WORLD PEACE IN ONE DAY" i don't think you would take it seriously. and yet here we are, trying to accomplish an equally daunting task in one 24-hour period. it is intense. the day is shrouded in a lie because as soon as your happily diapered child wakes up you tell him that it is a big party. we had balloons and streamers and noisemakers and silly string - all the trappings of a legitimate party. but it is most certainly not a party. it is a hellishly exhausting day. as soon as jack got out of bed, we gave him a present: an anatomically correct doll that wets himself. jack named him quincy. several times quincy successfully peed in the potty and even had an accident or two in his "big boy underwear." he also dropped a deuce that looked and smelled sus...

i'm giving away the swamp

so this is a collage called swamp. i made it in february of last year. it is currently framed in a homemade, hand-painted frame. it is paper collage on a book binding panel. it is 7" x 10". and i am giving it away. i've been wanting to have a blog giveaway for some time, and the time has finally arrived. here's how it works. all you need to do is leave a comment on this post. by leaving a comment you are automatically entered into the contest (as long as your comment offers a way for me to get in touch with you, or you know that i know you). the contest will be open until next wednesday at noon, eastern standard time. at that time the contest will officially be closed and i will pick a random number. the person whose comment matches that number wins! for example, if i happen to pick the number 33, the thirty-third comment will win. oh, and one more rule: you can only post ONCE. if you win, i will send you the collage, signed by me, the artist, free of c...
