Collage, decollage, and colored pencil on board. Originally posted 11/12/06. The almost 3D effect of the triangular blue "chip" is cool, but the similarity in size of all the objects makes it too cluttered. Oh, well.

Another nod to the master: Joseph Cornell.

Spend all you want on the ads, but the product's still blah. :p Shown smaller than the original size of 1600 X 1304 pixels. One of several original sources is here .
