you are one fun guy Derrick T…
I love these Derrick. Very monty python-esque!
clinton grobler: hello and thank you! …i want to take these on the road and do skits about them. i’d love to do skits and little performances about them. if only i had lived during the 20s, i could have appeared on-stage somehow at the Swiss Cabaret Voltaire. i just love deliberate chaos, don’t you? …happy you visited me.
mr. oji: thank you, kind sir! you see the enlongated arm there? …strange, afterward, that i would come across Duchamp’s "In Advance of the Broken Arm"…but, even the synchs are fragmented sometimes!
very fun :)
Yes! I love this stuff! Go DDDDDDD-ERRICK GO! Hope you’re good. Love the eyeballs and neck at the top and the long, long, long arm. Whoooa. This is so great. **smiling me**
Killer
Fingertips galore! I have been poring over this lovely compilation! Everything flows really, really nicely and I KNOW that required considerable effort to put together!! I see a book in your future full of pineconian collagisms!!
A fave!
Oooh, another of these collagistic tumblings over the surrealistic knife edge.
I think, perchance, you would be a fan of our Brett Whitely, a painter first and foremost, but prone to certain collagismic consciousness-streaming… I am eternally returning to the main gallery here in Sydney this year as they have brought out his phenomenal 16-yard work Alchemy, which you might recognise (in abridged form of course) from the live Dire Straits album of said name.
Reaching long-armedly into our hearts and minds and subconscious meanderings as ever Dr D ;-)

thrilling and scary and funny and amusing and and and it makes me happy. It’s a turn in the road that I can’t help but drive down.
i thought it was worthy enough to post, if anything.
steven, leftearmouse: thanks, thanks, as always!
annimator: it took a good while, yes, as they often do. i usually try to listen to various pieces of music that, not only give me visual-influence, but often helps me weave my way from the beginning process until the ending, because, well, during these paperly chop-em-up offerings, i usually find myself only remembering the interum! thanks, as always!
b-mill: thanks so much for the links and the information in regards to mr. whitely! i especially loved night cafe 1972, among the many. one to certainly add to the ever-growing artists list! thank you, as always!
cept: certainly not like the protocols of zion!
grace: thanks! …and i hope the road continues to stretch for miles and miles!
oh, and i have to say…
i’ve always felt that collages were way underrated. almost as underrated as "La Belle Gabrielle" (referring to the "other" Mona Lisa)…
thoroughly inspired
Oh, meinn gott!
hello mr Tea !
haha: so we go from constipation to diorrhea. :-o) better out than in, thats what my mum always taught us..
i like the way the eyes seem to have tears coming from them, but then they lead down to a smiling mouth. thats the best bit.. :)
there’s definitely a surrealist/dada theatre piece in here - can you imagine the costumes?
Definitely love the distorted anatomy, especially the eyes on stalks (or eyes crying down into the empty eye sockets below. Depending on perspective. Me, of course, I like both.)
chaoTic is fantasTic..:-)
This is so much fun, cool stuff! :)
Laughing reading the tags.
and the long long arm touching human heart-brain.
amazing……takes me right back to my ‘collage’ days :O)
Very cool! There is so much to analyze here. My favorite part is the eyeballs extending from the man with the huge smile and the striped pants. I also like the policeman tending to the person lying on the stretcher. What happened to that person? And is that a human brain on that man’s chest? Or is the long arm tweaking his nipple? I can’t tell. Hmm… that’s kind of deep… ultimately, tweaking a nipple stimulates the brain more than the body. :-)
Hmmm… "name your poison"… reading that tag makes me read this much differently now. At first, I was lost in all the details. Now I see that every character is distracted in one way or another by a vice of some kind. Well, sort of. In simpler terms, every character seems to *desire* something, or to be reveling in some dangerous pleasure, hence the maniacal smiles.
You should make a book of these!
its amazing what can be stimulated these days.. :-)
Oh man. I LOVE this.
I would KILL to purchase one of these. I and then hang it. Near my kitchen I think.
seeing this makes my constipation worries over… very cool
how adam got his apple back & hid it in his cardiovascular system.
your tags rock. and you said constipation. (boom-boom)

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
Interesting work Derick
I did laugh. Twas a hearty laugh. Something of a chortle, something between a chuckle and a chortle. A churckle, then?
And sadly lacking recording devices, at least reliable ones, I must chuckle my chortle and chortle my chuckle and hope the wind bends a bit to my will and sends my laughter chorckling into Georgia Land.
(It might take a few days to arrive but I hope you hear it, listen for it!)
very interesting work here, Derrick
what? no Hello Kitty Socks being coquettish with voice recorders?
ha ha. this is great. i think my favorite part is the cocked head of the funny old man. looks like he’s about to do a little song and a jig.
i get a bit of the same feel from this as i get from "winston smith"’s work (the guy who did lots of artwork for the dead kennedys). and that’s not a bad artist to be compared with, in my opinion ;-)
i spent some time looking at a random selection of your collages, and i get the feeling they are more related to your writing style than to your photography: a bit cut up, slightly erratic, highly associative string of extraordinary rarely ordinary words (images in the collages)
saying that i like or dislike it wouldn’t change anything, so i won’t say that i like them ;-) to me, they represent very much the conscious - constructing - derrickt, and not that much the more dreamlike person(a?) i can find and recognise in some of your photographs
am i making any sense? i try to be constructive but lose myself halfway through the process sometimes ;-)
Beware the creepy plaid jacket man.
so many things to love about this…. ! my favorite is the stretchy eyeballs. LOL!
Thank you all so much for stopping in and commenting here, and as usual, rewarding me! Grateful for every word…
To be more distinct…
I try and create collages that are somewhat "distant" from one another like various bodies of minerals (zinc to franklinite, &c., &c.) yet to try and obtain an exhibition of difference between them all — even though they are somewhat "assigned" various approaches, but as ones have stated before, my personal historical approaches are really not anything that I overly-examine too often, which is a bit interesting considering as though most of my collages are historical to a certain degree. However, I feel as though the symbolization generally comes naturally, without prism and diffraction. There is a certain prominence that I try and "take on" and "balance", yet often times I will begin with the process of subconscious collage-making where I don’t think, I just do. This association usually helps in providing various energies in proper wavelengths of ideas, whereas, creating one from a particular ‘option’ or pre-planned reference from the beginning would be a bit more relative and free to move. I don’t necessarily have a set pattern as to how they are created. I sometimes feel like I have a cheese grater and I am constantly grating shards of paper and gluing them down without mind-set, but with precision and possibility of an "allowance" to locate itself, while allowing the concept to contain itself. Then again, there are times when I go into it thinking of a particular concept, and it works itself out the same way. It all depends, really…
Oh, and the "long arm" is everyone’s ‘circumstance[s]‘…
…to put it in a nut-shell.
haha sending over the laughs. have missed your collages.
Dada Derrick is Back !
wonderfully fun, derrick. and that is indeed the longest arm ever.
I love how you continue the wonderful original concept of the man-made collage…scissors, paste or glue, and perhaps your upper teeth dug into your lower lip as you decide the optimal placement before leaning back to purvey the image with a nod and an under-the-breath "Yeah. Yeah, that looks good" :)
This is simply amazing!!! :)
i need new paperpoisonlips for deadly whispers..can you make me sum??..
frigging great! i think the term "derrickthe~esque was born longtime ago and might be found under alfabetic order in the great dictionary of surrealistic thruth..
welldone!!*plink*
Wow, this is fantastic!
Derrick, I found my voice recorder this morning!!!
It was in my little jewelry box in the drawer where i keep bracelets and my spare car key. I must have opened that drawer a dozen times in the past month and didn’t see it.
Funny that.
;)
thanks, thanks, thanks guys! i appreciate each and everyone of you, alwaysalways.
I’m an unrepentant collage junkie, and I see a lot in this. Great stuff & thank you for the fix! ^_^
Derrick that’s an excellent work. I have a thign for collage.
WoW, once again, I LOOOOOOVE your collages. : >
crazy as always…particularly!
a lot of great elements in this. cool total effect.
(i like the drooling eyes ;)
I make collages as well :D
This is wonderful.
Thank you all, always, always!
The Jessie Era; I shall go investigate! ;)
hi, nothing very intelligent to say about this but I just love collages! There’s so much to see and the "my constipation worries are over" text is hilarious!
I love these. I’m always mesmerized by all the little details. Yay, you! :)
you should see the hanna höch exhibition in berlin
fanastic work you`ve done here
kathalijne and Miss Clutter, thank you both!
Victoria: I love Hannah Höch, and I’d love to see some of her work showcased in a museum/gallery somewhere. Perhaps one day I will make it to Europe and will try and make it to Berlin. I have a cousin who was born in Germany, so at least there is an aforementioned operation on my family’s side of things! Thank you, always!
I’m thinking of selling this collage, if anyone is interested…
Miss Yerex: I know you said that you wanted to hang it on your wall, perhaps in the kitchen, so if you’re still interested, then throw me some verbiage. But, I’m still in the process of making you one anyway, so perhaps you will have one to hang on your kitchen-wall in the not-so-distant future.
we should really set up a collage-trade, Derrick.
let me know if you are interested.
Mel, I could make you a "fresh" one, specially designed for you, if you’d be interested. It’s actually been a while since I’ve dove into the collage-making ocean (other than the one for Kara), so I need to get my ‘gear’ on again to take that swim. I’ve got a few ideas for newer collages, so let me know if that would suit your pizzazz. A trade would be spliffy, too!
I love the structure of this piece, you seem to have a real eye for composition and the surreality of the images really gives the piece impact!
Why thank you, #liam!
Hi, I’m an admin for a group called EL Bombo Atomico, and we’d love to have this added to the group!
