I’ve written about UK based artist Anthony Zinonos a couple of times, but that was way back in 2009… clearly, it’s time for a new post. As you probably know, I am a ridiculously huge fan of collage, especially found image collage. A scrap of perfectly chosen paper, a few strategic snips from a stack of old magazines, and voila, you have an entirely new story being told on a field of canary yellow! Anthony’s work is so simple, and so clever. Oh, and not only is his work simple and clever, but he always has the best titles – that last piece {on the field of canary yellow!} is called … “justGOtalkTOher” … ha! ♥
ps. So I think you know that I’m working on a couple of books with Chronicle Books {it’s killing me not to tell you what they’re about… soon though!}. The first one is almost finished, and I’m knee-deep into the second, which just so happens to have a wonderful foreword written by one Mr. Anthony Zinonos! YAY!
You go girl! Can’t wait to see the books.
Beautiful work…would love to see the scale of these pieces.
me too! anthony – if you read this, let us know : )
I really love the piece Just go Talk to Her
so I looked it up to see where I could purchase it – I didn’t see it on his site.
I found it on http://www.culturelabel.com/just-go-talk-to-her.html

wow! nice detective work melody! good job!
Genius! I’m incredibly jealous.
