ELVIS Collage

Back in the 1950s, a girlfriend left me with her scrap book / autograph book, pages of autographs and articles about her favorite singers, actresses, actors. Sometime in my late teens, I attempted to produce my first work of art -- a collage of her collection. I pasted everything on a sheet of masonite, painted parts of it and then put it aside. All these years later, I came across that piece of masonite and managed to remove what I had pasted down. I turned these scraps into this collage and others. The '50s were a great time and this series of collages brings back memories.
