Visions of Paradise Collected

I'm posting a quick selection of various cutouts and collages showcasing stereotypical images of Hawaii - hula dancers, surfboards, sunsets, mai tais, palm trees, dolphins, the list goes on. I initially thought these might work as a large, chaotic collage (eventually mixing in less desirable elements of life here like trash, homelessness, and traffic)  but I've decided to wait on that plan. First, I'm enjoying mixing and matching the pieces to create different canvases.  Second, I am scanning each piece to have a digital copy. This has proved beneficial as I create my own postcards and bring in some of the cutouts to juxtapose stereotypical icons with the background of my choice.
