Free For All = ATC's - Six ATC's for John Evans
Made from clippings and material that was sent to me from someone in the mail art community who got it from John Evans' widow. John would have used some of these collage materials in his work and so glad I can make use of it and remember a great collagist who is no longer with us.

Theme: Lost Worlds
“The Lost World” is the famous book by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, of course,
but collages can be inspired by any lost worlds in fiction or non-fiction.

SUPERSTITIONS: A Pet on a Set is Bad Luck!
Never bring a pet on a theatrical or film set or the production will be doomed!
This still is of John Drew and Leslie Carter in "The Circle"
Note from Wikipedia:
John Drew's final Broadway play was The Circle co-starring fellow veteran star Leslie Carter and proved to be a popular comeback for the two Victorian actors. The Circle was made into a silent film in 1925 by MGM directed by Frank Borzage.
So, I guess having Rocky Raccoon on set wasn't so bad for this production. Whew...
