"Custom Artwork Available"...it says so on my business card. However, I have only been approached a handful of times to create a custom piece. I wonder sometimes if customers think that the only images I can use are those of vintage folks that so often grace my collages. In reality, I can use almost any image.
The collage featured here was created using a photo of mine from 1974. Here we are...my BFF and me back in our glory days :) I scanned the photograph, changed the coloring in Photoshop and voila'...a collage steeped in memories. I also took special care to include elements in the background that had relevance, such as the song lyric "tho we're apart" (as we are these days) and also the reference to New York, where we grew up together.
She really enjoyed receiving this gift and I imagine others would feel the same upon receiving such a collage. So if you are looking for a unique holiday gift this season, click "custom artwork" in my sidebar and we'll take it from there.
BTW...I'm the one on the right with the tinsel teeth...and we always wore our overalls to school on the same day :D
Ahhhh...memories.

How wonderful and you look so darling! How awesome that you are still close too :)
This is just so charming! I knew that was you before I even read the text....and you haven't changed a bit!
Well, you do have your own kiddies, and your hair is shorter, but other than that, I would have known you anywhere! Great job on this, and what a great idea.
I love it!
I love doing custom work as long as the customer lets me do what I want! he he.
