The Fire of Love


                                                                   "Love is friendship that has caught fire."
                                                                                        Ann Landers (1918-2002)

Combination of 3 vintage magazine illustrations.  The glowing fire lights were part of an ad for "Afta (by Mennen) Can't Burn" - the first creamy after shave.  The fireman was part of an ad for Duracell batteries.  And the couple "in love" was for Clorets breath mints (of course)!

The road to hell is paved with works in progress.


I always loved the phrase "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." but the above title by Philip Roth is even better and a great one for collage artists!

Even more ironic, this was a work in progress for the past 2 months.
