In a practice she describes as “ceramic collage,” Debra Broz delves into the world of secondhand decor and kitsch. The Seattle-based artist’s quirky sculptures are made from found figurines, which she cuts and reconfigures into playful hybrid forms. “A lot of times when I look at them, I think about if they were alive, how would they move and how would they operate?” - Debra Broz’s Kitschy ‘Superorganisms’ Are Both Familiar and Strange - via This Is Colossal
Organized by curator Meg Onli with artist Alex Da Corte as guest curator, the exhibition moves beyond Lichtenstein’s Pop-era surfaces to focus on his preoccupation with how images are copied, enlarged, circulated, and altered as they travel. Spanning painting, drawing, collage, prints, sculpture, and film, the show promises a fresh look at one of the 20th century’s defining names. - The Whitney to stage major Roy Lichtenstein exhibition in October 2026 - via artsy
“I don’t really know where I stand in terms of being an artist,” Edison says. His collages of crests and buttons, snippets of text, inky, dip-penned letters and black and white photographs of sailors, lovers and boxers are begging to be read into. But he insists their meaning would only be viewers’ projections. The content in his works is a means to explore materials and processes, and to question whether a three dimensional object is still considered “printmaking” or if a two dimensional steel jacket could be “fashion.” “But I like that people read different things from it,” he says. - Louie EdisonPrintmaking experiments breathing new life into old, forgotten ephemera - via WePresent
If your Instagram feed looks anything like mine, you’ll have been inundated by a host of collage playing cards recently. It’s not exactly the direction I expected this hobby to turn in the bullet-strewn aftermath of Warhammer 40k 11th edition, but the smoke has cleared, and I don’t hate what I see. Each playing card represents a little page of creativity, a prompt for imagination, and an exciting alternative to the push-fit plastic of Armageddon. - Warhammer Players Are Collaging Playing Cards To Help Them Out Of Hobby Holes - via The Gamer
A selection of challenge submissions from last week is up on our website and can be seen here, the image prompt for next week is available to download here
Our 2026 Workbook is out and available for sale on our website. Our weekly creative challenge remains free and open to everyone and everything, digital or analog artists, French or not. The workbook is an optional add-on for those who prefer to work with paper and don’t want to print our images themselves. Like every year, the book is designed so that you can either take it apart or create your collages in the book itself. Week numbers and image sources are on the back of each image, so even if your books falls apart at one point, you will always know what’s what!
