Description
I was showing a friend how easy it is to make a simple “quick and easy” collage from discarded paper. I retrieved an envelope and several magazines out of my recycle bin. I used the back of the envelope for a background. Then I flipped through the pages of the magazines to find an image suitable for a head, which was a fast food cheeseburger advertisement. Both eyes and a pair of lips came from cosmetic ads. Then a little scissor work and some gluing. Total time less than 30 minutes.....

The response to this silly creation amazes me….it was just an example of the kind of simple cut and paste exercise that I used to show children when I was teaching collage classes at non profit art associations. Sometimes Simple is better !

Thank you !...l am now a vegetarian and keep my distance from these things, but they are an iconic symbol of American culture, and fine collage material. I once cooked hundreds of these a day at S.F.’s famous Clown Alley....
