'peaceful exit' original collage

PEACEFUL EXIT
9" x 7”
toner, paper, ink, china marker, glue
2025

as a declaration of ambition the artist has endeavored to produce 52 cut paper collages before the end of 2026. this piece represents the second collage in the series, executed in an early effort to get ahead of the curve.

as the year progresses the finished art from some will surely go towards shirts or prints or to use by bands, but at present the objective is to omit any works produced and used specifically as band/brand commissions from the 52 tally. not all collages within the series will be made available for purchase.

this original “peaceful exit” piece was constructed in the same manner as all other GIVE UP works: assembled from original photographs shot by the artist that have been manipulated and sized on a photocopier for contrast and toner degradation, with the respective elements then hand collaged using scissors and glue. fine details and shadows added in ink and china marker. final collage affixed to heavyweight acid free black card stock. signed and dated in pencil on reverse.

presented framed under glass in a black brushed metal frame with white mat, ready to hang. actual collage image area ~8.5” x ~6.5” on 9" x 7" card. total presentation with frame measures 9.375” high x 7.375” wide x 0.75” deep.

ships padded in bubble wrap and doubled boxed for safety, USPS priority rate insured in the US. (not available for international shipping. any international orders will be canceled and refunded minus applicable fees.)
