ANOTHER COLLAGE - ELVIS IN PAINTING MODE

This is a small section of another collage made a few years ago which I've Photoshopped with a filter, just for the fun of it.  

When I first heard Elvis on the radio, right back at the beginning of his fame, I thought the music and the singing were terrible - the shock of the new!

Then one day we were sitting in a café - on the radio Elvis was singing 'Blue Moon' and it was so beautiful I was converted.  

As pop music rapidly followed his style I came to appreciate his voice more - even when he sang 'Wooden Heart'.

This was actually an A3 collage, and this is the left-hand side.  I love the idea of Elvis painting the sculptures, and I'm sure he sang as he worked.  But he really should have worn an overall.

Here's the right-hand side:

In fact the two halves stand alone quite well.  I was just enjoying myself so much I carried on and on and had to cut the collage in half to fit it into my sketchbook.

I tried to marry the two halves again to give the full effect, but my skills of photographing each of them at exactly the same size, and even adjusting them on Photoshop were woefully inadequate.

Never mind, c'est la vie!  Hope you enjoy them.
