Illustration Friday ~ Backwards




This gal has the right idea, but some people get things BACKWARDS...they believe the reverse is true. I think it's a sad state of affairs when someone needs to walk around with a phone attached to their ear! But maybe I'm just old-fashioned.

Another great collage!

I agree with you. It is so weird to walk down the street in the city and everyone is having their own conversation with a phone stuck to their ear.

I love it too. I think its even wierder when people walk around seemingly talking to themselves when in reality they have one of those headsets on that you can't see. One never knows if the police should be called to help a lunatic.

love the vintage feel to this. I agree. I hate cell phones, especially when you are in a store and you think someone is talking to you and they are on the phone!

Wonderfully ironic. Excellent and skillful collage work. You really have a way with colors!

Oh how I love this one. The statement the collage, the composition. Right on! Everything about this is just so good. I love the typewriter keys...the background the great stamp you used...everything.

Enjoy your snow day!

Yes, I agree--too weird. Love how you portrayed this!

Beautiful collage - a nice twist on the theme.
I agree about the whole phone thing. People use them like a small child with a comfort blanket. Very sad.

I'm old-fashioned too! Don't even own a cell phone. Lovely collage!

Thanks for all the comments. And no, not a tin ceiling...just wallpaper. Tin probably would have been a lot easier!

This is my favorite of your collages so far, and I love all I've seen!

I'm hi tech enough to own a cell phone, but I am old fashioned enough to be amazed by certain things. For instance, I once saw a group of four people walking together....all four of them on the phone...to other people! It's a phenomenon I don't quite get. Ah well, progress, eh?
