A Collage of My Brother on Dad’s Shoulder


Finding these older silent 8 mm movies my mom and dad shot in the 50s and 60s has been a real charge.  I have made several portraits using them as references and this is just one.

I started by taking a still photo from the movie.  Then drew the composition onto paper and began the collage process.  

Halfway through the collage I discovered I drew dad's mouth wrong and had to adjust it.  The drawing part of each project is so very important.
