The process begins with high quality magazines and  books from which the palettes, shapes, and elements are  selected for the central characters. I photograph the  backgrounds and manipulate the color in Photoshop to  work with the images. The collages are drum scanned    and photographed professionally before the merge with  the backgrounds. The prints are highest quality archival  paper or canvas and archival ink.
