Really lets you embrace your free will and make something cool. I liked using plaster to make cool rock textures. I also tried some beading on canvas and made a weird cement like mixture from acrylic paint and baking soda. Usually my best work comes when I'm making something stupid (like alvin and the chipmunks as prison inmates or Garfield as the joker). Just get down to clown basically.

I'm not really good at any visual art forms, but I made a pretty big collage for my friend's birthday, and it was just fun following my instincts on what to put together, seeing where I could place an inside joke, and just telling a story in a way I usually wouldn't.
Hours went by before I even realized how long I'd been working on it. I just listened to music, cut up magazines, rubbed glue into my hands, fucked around with a bunch of markers, and it was pretty chill. I'd recommend anyone who struggles with visual art to give it a try, you might surprise yourself, but you also might just have fun, which is worth it to me. It's making me consider learning how to do it digitally.

When I draw or paint something and I don't feel 100% happy with the end product, sometimes I like to use it in a collage or do a collage around it.
It turns art I'm disappointed in into something I like looking at. It keeps me from getting disheartened and helps creative juices flow.
I think the collaging aspect is especially useful because it less technical and you can be pretty abstract with composition.
It's a lot of fun and I think everyone should try it!! Here's a picture of one I did today. My drawing came out at a little flat and lacking dimension. I turned it into a collage and I feel like my original vision started to show. I started creating a story for this character I made through the collage.
If you like to do this or want to try it, show me ur collages β€οΈ would love to see what other people come up with.

Took Polaroid selfies and used oil pastels and markers to turn them into funky abstract portraits!
Experiment with mixed media, recreate an old photo, the things you have done in the past can breathe new life.
final products are only final until the next round of inspiration strikes.

The iBeer app is great to open when you want to performatively chug a pint of 2010 iPhone aesthetic beer in semiotic solidarity with your friends who are interested in collabing consumption rituals and the club. When you download iBeer (or even a sister application like iCigLite), you open your phone chakra to the possibility of an iPhone Samsara.
