Vlog: NYC to Collage… How I Turn Urban Inspiration into Art
VLOG
Join me as I take you from the vibrant streets of New York City to my collage sketchbook in the studio, in my latest vlog on YouTube.
This video documents how I gather creative inspiration in NYC—from photographing graffiti, torn posters, textures, and urban signage to visiting art supply stores and museums like the Whitney.
After the trip, I return to the studio to create a mixed media collage using torn street ephemera, inkjet-printed photos, gel plate transfers, tissue paper layers, and found typography. Watch how the energy and textures of the city transform into layered, expressive artwork.
🎨 Learn how I:
• Use urban textures and photography for visual inspiration
• Collect collage materials while walking the city
• Visit NYC art stores, bookshops & museums
• Make a collage using found materials and gel prints
• Print photos on tissue paper for transparent layering
• Build a collage step-by-step in my sketchbook
So, swing by YouTube and check out my latest vlog... Whether you're an artist, traveler, or urban explorer, you'll find ideas for turning everyday experiences into meaningful art.
