andthencamethen asked: I'd love to help you out by giving some handwriting samples.
I'm unfortunately on break and away from home right now, but when I fly back on the 1st I can certainly handwrite a page or two.
Is it a problem if the sentences are lyrics, or from a book? I don't know if there'd be, I dunno, a copyright issue or something.

Help a brotha out?
I’m looking for handwriting samples for an upcoming collage (collages). Looking for blue or black ink on white or ruled paper. Also something coherent. Not just a string of gibbberish, but actual sentences. The sentences themselves do not necessarily have to form a sense-making paragraph. A paragraph to one page is all that is necessary. The more of these I get, the more collages I can...

“Everything in life is a collage. Every thought crossing our minds is a collage...”
– Herakut - Hi-Fructose Magazine vol. 17 2010
(I too believe that there are no new original thoughts, styles, philosophies, paradigms, etc. Basically, everything is derivative. At one point in time I wanted to write up a small ‘Collagist’s Manifesto’ saying as much. But then I...

Ok, quickly - before Tumblr's down again...
I finished the table of contents and the backflap on the inside cover of the sketchbook. These are they:

(For some odd reason, there is white outlining the bottom-most element in the collage which doesn’t appear in .AI, .PDF, or as a hardcopy. Weird.)

Let's Make Some Wire-Guys, Guys (Pt.2 - Meat)
Now that you have your stickfigure skeleton, it’s time to make it look more personesque. We do this by coiling thinner (or the same) gauge wire around the frame in two coats: The tight coat and the loose coat.
Step 1: Securing the wire
Pull a bunch of wire from your spool (but leave it attached). I find the best place to securely hook it too is the sholders/arms/neck area of the figure.

Let's Make Some Wire-Guys, Guys (Pt.1 - The...
So a while back, awesomegeekchick(.tumblr.com) inspired me to write up a tutorial on how to make a simple figure out of wire. Well, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to get around to doing this but, ya know - better late than never. I developed this technique back in ‘99 by just messing around with paperclips and florist wire so by now, the process is pretty intuitive to me - which...
