The News Today: A Collage Contest Entry

The world today is in chaos: Australia is burning, the ice caps are melting, and our leaders are marching us headstrong into WW III while we wildly cheer them on. It's a mad, scary world out there. Shootings. Drugs. Opioids. Kardashians. When will it all end?

I've figured out how to make the world a little less scary for everyone involved: googly-eyes. Yes. Google eyes. The next time you see your leader trying to scare you into action, view this leader through the lens of googly eyes, and what they say is suddenly much less scary, allowing you time to provide yourself some rational thought.

This was a collage of four days of newspaper clippings, with many more still on the floor and having not made the cut like a useless piece of film that doesn't add to the final story.

Here is a clip of Tom Brady, having not made the cut (this might be the only time you hear that statement of him)

Here is a clip of Donald Trump saying whatever it is that Donald Trump says.

Other random clippings on the floor.

It's all about her hair! I'm sure it's a very hairy situation.

And of course, my package of googly eyes, useful for so many purposes.

After literally - physically - cutting and pasting the images and text onto a sheet of paper and googly-eyeing them accordingly, I photographed the collage and GIMP'ed it a little to add the background. Then I took a few more images to really bring out the eyes. The eyes! Remember, the eyes are the mirror to the soul.
