Howdy! My name is XTIAN, I am a surrealistical artist guy from Melbournia. This be a blog of my arts, a sort of "what's new?" with regards to everything from collages to music to film. I make a lot of stuff (mostly collages though. Do you? Get in touch.) WARNING: some of this gear may be NSFW. For more of my stuff see www.gadzooxtian.com .

Destroy that book!
I was given a very big and very expensive book aboooout... 12?, 15? years ago. It was given to me by a lovely chap who really liked my collage work, saying I would know how to make masterpieces from it. It is, like I say, a very large book, full of full-page, full colour illustrations. See if I can google it...
Can't find a bigger, better pic...
Anyways. It's a stunningly beautiful book, and as such I've been afraid to cut it up! It's a book! I respect books (94% of the time)! It's pricey! It's expensive! It's out of print (as I've just discovered).
Then... it just sat on my bookshelf. Gathering dust. I stopped reading it ages ago. Just a very large object.
Over a decade passes...
Then... a moment of realisation! THIS isn't the ONLY copy of this book in the world! "There are many like it - but this one is mine." My bookshelf may miss out - but not the world.
DIE BOOK, DIE!
*ahem!*
So out came the knife, the scissors and the glue. I've been wanting to make some large collages anyway...
And so I present you with the first of many giant altarpiece images re-worked for a new... Millenium? Whatevz. Enjoy.
