Venice Beach was always rather edgy - now it's over the top edgy, but still beautiful. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with the glitz and glamour and excess of living in LA.
Thus I thought the torn edges would convey the edginess I filled the tears with black and clipped Manly papers to the mask parts.
The photos are collaged inside the edges, some blended, some framed, lots of Transfers and Brushes, including those fabric transfers I like so much - I just kept adding on, just like this area just keeps adding on people and cars ($30 to park for dinner).
Journaling is on top of Manly MM, with a Manly Artsy Kard clipped to the laptop image.
Added elements and splatters but tried to keep the colors down to blue inside the black and white. Added a yellow stroke to the glasses and a yellow brush to color the cap of the MM.
The "Venice" title was from a shop, desaturated.
