Friday Five – Number One Hundred Two

Interesting composition!
When I first met Tina Garceau, she would stand at the self-service copier at the shop I used to work and would make copy after copy from a stack of clip-art books in preparation for her collages. She would take them back to her apartment and painstakingly cut up the copies with an X-Acto #11 blade. She would assemble them into the illustration and then come back to see me for a photo-stat. Now she does them digitally which saves a lot of time and a lot of tedium from surly clerks.
Also — she used to keep tabs on the various copy shops around town – which one had the blackest toner and crispest copies. Try to find a simple, self service, black and white copier nowadays.
