'world flail' original collage

WORLD FLAIL
9.5" x 7.5”
toner, paper, ink, marker, china marker, glue
2026

as a declaration of ambition the artist has endeavored to produce 52 cut paper collages before the end of 2026. this piece represents the 8th collage in the series.

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 specifically as band/brand commissions from the 52 tally. not all collages within the series will be made available for purchase.

this original “world flail” 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 re-sized on a photocopier for contrast and toner degradation. the respective elements then hand collaged using scissors and glue. fine details and shadows added in ink, marker, and china marker. while on the surface perhaps not the "busiest" work to date, this collage was created from 6 individual source elements, cut apart and reassembled in 22 separate pieces.

signed on front in pencil and dated on reverse.

presented framed under glass in a black frame with white mat, ready to hang (in-frame photos shot with glass removed to prevent any glare in documentation. final piece ships with glass intact). total collage on card measures 9.5” x 7.5” with an image area of 8" x 6" under 9.875" x 8" mat. final presentation with frame measures 10.375” high x 8.375” wide x 0.5” 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.)
