“Surrealist Memo of Unknown Origin” – photomontage © 2018 – Howard Faxon
This is a piece of my artwork that I made available at a print on demand site. When I make photomontages I only use elements from my personal photos. Photographs that I have taken. A big part of the fun for me is to find, photograph, and collect elements that I need to make the pieces I am working on.
This surreal series is continually being worked on. It is a running series so to speak. It’s how I work on most of my series of images. I have several running all the time. Every once in a while I add to one of them as inspiration strikes. This series is rather loosely defined. Other pieces from this group that I shared here in the past were black and white artworks. The majority, however, are in color as this one is.
I hope you enjoyed it or found some inspiration from it.
Good images very nice work……
Thanks Pamela. I actually enjoy even the tedious parts of making them. Some of my photos were taken only to make them. By themselves they make no sense but some piece was useful.
Thanks you. It is more edit than photo I guess or 4 photos smooched together. Cheers!
I like your montage works, and I think it’s inspirational.
Thank you Albert. I appreciate that especially from an artist like yourself who frequently inspires. …. Collage techniques are so fun these days. No scissors are required!
Cheers.
Yes, current technology has greatly facilitated the creation of works of art.
Absolutely, I love this one. Very detailed and creatively done.
The images are all photographs from my old yard. I saw crows there most days at some point. A higher resolution view is linked there.
Thank you so much Carol 🙂
Beautiful Image , Great post , Thank you for sharing

A meme!
The bird nailed it! sorry I couldn’t help myself.
No, that’s good – you made me laugh. I get a kick out of pun jokes. Alex and I commented back and forth once about those. Funny stuff. ** A neutron walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender brings it over and the neutron asks, “How much do I owe you?” The bartender replies, “For you,… no charge.”
My father told me that one, many years ago. He knew every bad science joke ever created 🙂
