"Munch Calligraphy"
by Steve Ausherman

Handmade card.
2014


I created this card using decorative paper,
fake Civil War-era paper currency
and an image from an entrance ticket to the Oslo Museum in Norway.
Upon the entrance ticket was placed this self portrait by the artist Edvard Munch.
My wife and I visited Norway a year
and a half ago and I kept this lovely ticket.

"Biloxi Bikini Girl"
by Steve Ausherman

Handmade Card
2014




This image was created by a map I kept from the times that I went
down to the Mississippi Coast to do
post-Katrina work. The image of the girl is a Minoan painting pulled
from an old art magazine. The blue patterned paper reminded me of foaming waves.

"Language Map"
by Steve Ausherman
Handmade card.

This is another collage using atlas pages, Norman Rockwell calendars and ink. I like the image that Rockwell painted of himself here. I like that image of a person looking out of a window...the eternal stance of poets, painters, writers, thinkers and artists!
