It was 1992 and I had a giant stack of old magazines and a pair of shears. At random intervals over a few months, I removed pages from the soon be to discarded magazines, later cutting away excess to retain only each given image of interest. Following that, I used a can of spray-glue to create several small scenes, after which the individual pieces were combined with creative filler strips I made to achieve full coverage. The entire collage was adhered to a large piece of cardboard, with edges ruled and then trimmed.
This is the finished product. It measured roughly 2-feet by 3-feet and was framed under glass, hanging on a wall for over twenty years. After a long period of sustained exposure to sunlight, however, the collage eventually became bleached with a blue tint.
