I really love this piece by Mirjana Ursulesku.  I've probably walked by it a dozen of times and didn't notice it until today.

Research 8/29/2013

Here is a great self portrait by Silent Pea.  The assignment is "Found Type Collage" and this one caught my eye while doing some research.  Before I started on the research I made a dozen or so thumbnails and only a few turned out worth exploring.

As I started to poke around the internets some more, I started to see how some of these collages were pieced together.  Some of these are really cool.
