These collages combine pictures and words from old Golden Book Encyclopedias with bits & pieces of my own sketches and drawings (and in Predators a tree from one of my daughter Eva's paintings). They are about the mysteries and wonders of science & the natural world as revealed to so many kids through the strangely fascinating and sometimes unintentionally humorous work of those anonymous Golden Book writers and artists. I like to use old mailing envelopes as the base for the collages because they contribute their own evocative patina.
