Again, late 90's, x-acto/glue/paper/cardboard. This is what I did instead of having any kind of social life.
I did these stencils several years ago for a Lewis Recordings UK tour (clockwise from top left: Andrew Thompson, Edan, Mighty Casey, Dooley-O). These were reprinted on t-shirts, rather than tagged throughout London. (There are still some available at lewisrecordings.com/shop).
I used to love finding photographs on the street, especially if the elements had damaged the emulsion, causing it to disintegrate into abstract/psychedelic designs. Thanks to digital photography I don't find many photos on the street anymore, so I decided to create my own from thrift store photos. These were done by leaving them in the sink for a few days with the dirty dishes.
Inspired by a Laurie Anderson cut-up of two newspapers (which was inspired by William Burrough's/Brion Gysin's cut-up technique). This was two copies of a music promotion sticker sliced in different directions and interwoven.
In 1990 I bought a camera from Bazooka Bubble gum ("$1.29 and 90 comics")-- cheapo thing that used 126 film (which they didn't make for much longer at that point), but it was kind of like a poor man's Holga. I loved how the shutter was independent of the film advance so it was easy (dangerously easy, if you weren't keeping track) to take multiple exposures. Here are a few.
