NYC to Collage: How I Turn Urban Inspiration into Art

NYC Urban Inspiration Turned into Mixed Media Art Collage. Join me as I take you from the vibrant streets of New York City to my collage sketchbook in the studio. This video documents how I gather creative inspiration in NYC—from photographing graffiti, torn posters, textures, and urban signage to visiting art supply stores and museums like the Whitney. After the trip, I return to the studio to create a mixed media collage using torn street ephemera, inkjet-printed photos, gel plate transfers, tissue paper layers, and found typography. Watch how the energy and textures of the city transform into layered, expressive artwork. 🎨 Learn how I: • Use urban textures and photography for visual inspiration • Collect collage materials while walking the city • Visit NYC art stores, bookshops & museums • Make a collage using found materials and gel prints • Print photos on tissue paper for transparent layering • Build a collage step-by-step in my sketchbook Whether you're an artist, traveler, or urban explorer, you'll find ideas for turning everyday experiences into meaningful art. 💬 Drop a comment if you’ve ever made art inspired by travel—or if you'd like a tutorial on how I print on tissue paper! 🔔 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications so you never miss a studio session or art travel vlog.
