Paper Trumpets #15: Puffy Has Something

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • December 24, 2014
The images and text on this collage are from an old Christmas book called Baby's First Christmas, a short picture book published in 1983. I took the story text (about 100 words) and re-arranged it into a sort of dada holiday poem.

Paper Trumpets #11: Let’s Bounce

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • October 29, 2014
I love it when there are sports images in collages, especially older photos. There's a reason why throwback uniforms are so popular.

Paper Trumpets #8: Perfect Ghost

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • September 17, 2014
I love how paper from that century—or anything over 100 years old—ages and changes color around the edges.

Paper Trumpets #5: Mudman vs. Sweaters

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • August 5, 2014
...I suspect that this particular Mudman would win this battle against these thin, preppy hipsters (or maybe they're young Republicans).

Paper Trumpets #3: Try Telling the Lady

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • July 8, 2014
I almost ran this collage last week but thought it might’ve been early to spring nudity on you. Since this is the third installment of Paper Trumpets (our third date!), I decided that now is the time. I hope you still respect me in the morning.

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • June 25, 2014
I like combining joyful images with something dangerous or mysterious (I’m not sure about the reptile tail but I like how it adds a balance to it all).
