About dadadreams
I am a self-taught paper and scissors collage artist. I create all of my original collages using the traditional analog method in which everything is cut and pasted by hand. By salvaging images from damaged vintage books and magazines, I preserve and give a second life to unique bits of pop culture history that would otherwise be discarded and forgotten.
