Bad Craziness
Artist
Douglas Fromm
Medium
Mixed Media - Collage On Paper
Description
I started this piece with newspaper images in 1972. Over 30 years later the paper had faded nicely, so I added a layer of bright white copy paper images and scraps to create some contrast. A jury selected this work to appear in the 2012 National Collage Show in Collegeville Pennsylvania. Attendees at the show voted it as The People's Choice,

Thanks as always, Viva….your intriguing and insightful comments are always appreciated !.. after half a century this piece has finally found a nice home with someone who appreciates it’s weirdness. I will be soon shipping it to an artist friend in Ontario Canada….

A gorgoeus and fun work. I love the way you treat works as not having to be done in a specific time period.
Douglas Fromm replied:
Thanks, Bunny.... sometimes I give up on works until the right scraps of paper finally show up. Other pieces are just not working out right, but I will look at them months or years later and the answer just pops into my erratic mind, I know exactly what went wrong and how to fix it !
Michael J Cooper
Very well done Douglas. Love that you updated this piece. Recycling adds life to this mesmerizing craziness. A favorite for sure. Mike

Thank you.....I could not think of a title for this until I saw the words at the very top edge, and decided that fit perfectly with the image ..!

Douglas, 2012, I have certainly seen this. I guess I'm revisiting. It's good to be able to see it as new again. My husband likes that I forget his jokes, so he can make me laugh all over again. Carol

Thank you, it is always nice to be “revisited”. Every few months I realize that I have not revisited the 13 pages of FAA favorites that I have collected. Among them are your “Swing City” and “Heart’s Desire” - which I ordered a greeting card of years ago to send out but kept for myself. Have a Happy Merry New Year of Creation !!
