Teenage Ambition

There's a big empty white space in my room which I want to fill even though it may make it look smaller.
Nonetheless, I've always been dyeing to make a collage with bits and bobs collected over the year in the form of magazines or pieces of paper from previous holidays such as leaflets/tickets/guides ect. Never found the time though because these things need some effort and determination to complete! So you could say that it's more of an art project than just a casual thing: sticking pieces onto paper in random order on a Saturday night.
Anyways, I've been inspired by these great collage artists, or simply just artists who throw in a bit of collage into their work. Notpaper is a blog that is 'dedicated to showcasing the work of international collage artists'.

Also, sticking with the whole collage shenanigans (their album cover is sort of a collage), this song by New York duo Matt and Kim has got me in a 'sa-weeet sunshine' mood, bearing in mind the sun's shining and it may not be topping high temperatures, no where close, but who cares if the sun is out?!
