Chucked through the atmosphere by Jon Foster, USA--The Blue Planet

[Bifidus Jones]

The tape n peel technique continues in this nifty mail art by Jon. He used an old NASA post card whose title and description lends a cosmic tone to this piece. I like the text and the muscles melded in there, and not a speck of blue to be seen. Gracias Jon Foster.

Hey there Laurence. Basically what I do is find some really strange / old magazines or books that I like the images from. By the way, I only develop a theme once I start doing a little sticking. Once I start sticking things to the card, which are always repurposed postcards, I them spacially develop where I want to put stuff.

 

From that I dirty things up with tape transfers from newpapers or the backs of grocery bags. I love when things are uneven and a little obscured...I had perfectly straight lines and the like.

 

Take the tape and press down on the surface and pull, it's a lot of fun. Give it a try.

 

Hope this helps?
