The Book of Jude

The first series of collages I did using only black-and-white images was on the Book of Jude. Most of the illustrations I used for their basis came from an early edition of Jules Verne's book Hector Servadac. The only problem with these collages is that they ended up looking like straightforward pictures that I merely re-named, rather than collages pieced together with an average of about 6-8 pieces each. I later learned to mix black-and-white images with color photographs to emphasize the composite nature of the end result. Below is the first piece in the series:
