This blog is great with the images too.
Originally from chicago (now based in New Orleans), Mike is a mind-blowing and heartfelt collagist, specializing also in printmaking. His works are both whimsical and brooding and he utilizes assorted vintage materials including tin types and photographs.

A New York based printmaker -- just beautiful work.. being resourceful, she uses her feet to press the inked linoleum cutouts onto paper and assembles beautiful collages that often have a darker "silver" lining to them.
I have been a fan of Jared's work for a long time. It is haunting, smooth and filled with undercurrents of highly charged eeriness.

Sign aka Matthew Hoffman is a highly original craftsman and collage artist, dealing primarily with wooden cutouts. He is now delving into public sculpture.
Found objects, metal objects, antique objects melded together in unique sculptural collages. I love them.

One of the most talented painters to come from Western Michigan University, Larocque's works are strange and otherworldly.
