I find that slapstick violence can be pretty funny in collage art. Like visual satire.

...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.

  • 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).

Paper Trumpets #1: Strange Horizon

  • Kevin Sampsell
  • June 10, 2014
Paper Trumpets is a venue for me to share my own developing work and also to share my enthusiasm for the process of the art form and the growing community of awesome collagists out there all over the world.

Keep in Touch

The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

We believe that literature builds community—and if reading The Rumpus makes you feel more connected, please show your support! Get your Rumpus merch in our online store. Subscribe to receive Letters in the Mail from authors or join us by becoming a monthly or yearly Member.

We support independent bookstores! 10% of sales on any titles purchased through our Bookshop.org page or affiliate links benefits the magazine.
