Here is what artist Alexis Anne Mackenzie has to say about her work:
“All of my collages are composed by hand - cut from books I’ve been collecting for years, and painstakingly pieced together as seamlessly as possible. They create themselves through a process beginning with a loose concept, followed by a series of trials and errors, subtle maneuvers, selection/elimination, harmonious unions, and happy accidents. It is a meditative process, and there is a lot of decision-making behind each element involved.
My general intent, throughout all my work, is to portray the world as a flawed thing of beauty - a place that shines brightly, but has a dark side to match.
You can view her ‘typographic collages’ at both her website and see some of her more recent efforts at the POVevolving Gallery.

Steve Seeley, in addition to his regular body of work; has an ongoing project entitled “The Creature” in which he alters the same vintage issue of this particular comic book cover. The variety of the characters is astonishing and I admire his ability to track down so many of this same issue!
