okay, so much to say:

first of all, I am running out of words to use to describe all the things that I love that you share here. I fear I am starting to sound like a broken record. that being said, I LOVE jo tyler's work. I just might have a favorite new collage artist! her use of color, composition, drawing, vintage ephemera... so fresh and modern and I just love it. I am totally inspired. thanks SO MUCH for sharing her work here. without you, I would not have known about her!

secondly, I love that wall of polaroid transfers that was posted on global graphica... back in 2002, ward and I were in new york and we ran into a street photographer who was taking 'portraits' of people using an old polaroid camera and the transfer method. they were beautiful and relatively unexpensive, so we had one done. a year or so later, we saw this same photographer profiled in a design mag...! and these photos look strangely similar to her work... or maybe this process just produces photos that look like this...? anyway, I must show you that photo! will probably eventually post it on my blog or something (though I have never really liked the actual photo of myself, it is still a really cool photo)... and it just occurs to me that maybe I should've sent all this to you in an email. I got going and couldn't stop, tee hee.
