Biden 2020 & Trump Inspired Art, by yomarc on Nov 9, 2020 17:28:48 GMT 1, My Name’s Marc Zakroff and I’m a mixed media artist from Philadelphia. If you’re interested in seeing my original art, please explore my insta account @zakroff.  Given the events of this past week, I thought I'd share some art I created during the pandemic.

A little bit about my process of creating art:

• All of my art is mixed media collage on cradled wood boards or objects
• My source material comes from auction catalogs, coffee table books, magazines, comics, maps, etc.
• Nothing is printed from a computer. People often think the entire collage was created on the computer, but it’s not. All images are physically collected from the original source material
  
• All pictures are hand-cut. Again nothing is done digitally. I use a combination of scissors and xacto knife to prepare all my images for inclusion of the collage
  
• Images go around the edges of the wood canvas, so originals don’t need to be framed
  
• The end product is covered with several thin layers of glue and polycrylic, so it’s smooth to the touch
  

Biden/Silver Surfer - Mixed Media Collage on 36” x 36” x 1.75” wood canvas - Acrylic paint over hand-cut black & white silver surfer comics. Elements of silver leaf added. Images go around the sides.
