Communication Breakdown

I've been having fun cutting up circa early 1930s issues of The Saturday Evening Post magazine.  The background is from a double page ad for The Ford Motor Company.  The handsome farmer was a cover illustration.  The depressed looking cigar smoker is from an ad for "smoker's fag" which was described as a lack of energy due to smoking too much.  Campbell's soup must have been a very popular convenience food as full page ads appeared in every issue.  I added a "shoestring" a black marker line connecting the tin cans as a communication device.

Weekly theme

This week, incorporate some drawing into your collage, pencil, ink, paint, thread, etc.

I'm including one I did last week with just added pencil but am going to try and really push myself in a different direction.  I'm also including a piece by artist Laura Ferrara, I find her work to be very inspiring.
