                <description><![CDATA[ It's been so long since I've really done some of my own work, and I'm really happy that I've had the time lately (after I left my job, but nonetheless)... It feels really good, and my style has changed a lot from my last collages, and I like it. It's more lovey-dovey, which maybe I am too.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ April creates characters for us by combining unlikely combinations, resulting in a common link that is often strange or witty. She takes advantage of beautifully sparse, unusual layouts which make the pieces quirky and fun to look at (which means my thumbnails all look funny). I like that she combines vintage photographs with drawn lines and shapes, it gives her work real graphic interest.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/april_gertler.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I've been communicating with Karine for a while because we are working on a three-way collage for the 6x6 project, and I completely forgot that I asked for her interview a long time ago and just found it today in my inbox! Oops. Her work is excellent, it truly shows her creativity because she uses only other people's materials and every single piece is really unique. I can't wait to see what she makes with what I sent her!<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/karine_leger.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ In this artist's work, there is so much variation between sizes and materials, it almost feels like the work is by many artists! But this isn't a bad thing, Alex takes a lighthearted approach to collage by bravely taking on new styles and techniques. By working playfully and without constraint, these characteristics show up clearly in his finished pieces.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/alex_hamrick.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Randy's work has impact, probably because of his excellent sense of space. His collages are a little busy at times, but you can still always tell where the focus is. I agree that his style is really becoming "his style." I love his work and I can't wait to see more, I hope it has an impact on you too...<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/randy_mora.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Ophelia's work is clearly beautifulÂornate magazine cutout collages, featuring gems and satiny textures. I would describe her flower collages as very luxurious! But is a flower just a flower? she says. I don't think it's just luck, as she claims, that her art has been well received.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/ophelia_chong.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ The right amount of distressing, juxtaposition, and soft colours make me think Kareem is a collage genius. I love his work. His inspiration from Eduardo Recife shows through, but his style is still his own. What else can I say? His artwork speaks for itself. (And it doesn't say too much, because it doesn't need to!)<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/kareem_rizk.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Layla's beautifully feminine and detail-oriented collages are something special. She uses mainly old materials with techniques new and old. All of her one of a kind works put a little spin on "vintage" art, and if you don't look closely, you would believe it's the real thing.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/06/layla_renzi.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Emma's work is wonderfully feminine, likely because of the bright colours and women only featured. I feel like I can relate to her magazine-like collages that she lays out in her art journal. Something I would like to see more of is her unique fabric collages with stitched textÂtruly beautiful.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/emma_harris.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Jonas has an excellent understanding of graphic elements which shows with the text and contrast in his work. I love the method he uses with tape (which I have tried and enjoyed), and also the fact that in his moleskine he leaves full pages blank! It's very effective. <br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/jonas_fechner.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ "The more mess the better really," is a statement I thought surprising for a digital artist to say. <a href="http://Darrenluchmun.deviantart.com">Darren</a>'s works do have a vintage lookÂeven though the techniques he uses are fairly newÂwhich must be a result of his desire to find old things to make new again. Whatever his personal preferences when it comes to handmade or digital, I feel that he really understands collage from either technical point of view.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/darren_luchmun.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

It was difficult for me to choose my favourites from his pretty large body of work... I love the use of typography in his gluebooks, and I am inspired by his collaborations with other artists, particularly Laura Serra (previously interviewed <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/laura_serra.html">here</a>)!<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/sebastian_waters.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

She has an amazing concept of placement in her handmade and digital collages.

                <description><![CDATA[ What stood out for me at first was this designer's use of Letraset letters in his collages. I find it interesting how many of us are graphic designers as well! I think sometimes it is obvious who is and who is not a graphic designer because of the amount of typographic elements used in their artwork. I admire Able's work, it has a nostalgic quality to it but still feels new and modern, probably because it's like nothing I've seen before.<br /><br />To read the interview or comment on this artist, please visit this post at <a href="http://www.notpaper.net/2008/05/able_parris.html">www.notpaper.net</a>.<br /><br /> ]]></description>
