ARTS GENRES


XEROX ART
 STILL LIFE
xerox art

I had so much fun when xerox art was the rage! Shown here is one of six super-sized drafting xeroxes. I used a copy from the Central Archive in Ottawa, derived from a 1913 Ottawa Citizen. Collage was added to Castle drafting xerox copies, which were painted with individual concepts , either to employ the newsprint tabula rasa, or to lampoon some of the articles.
