I love all your content. Whenever I hear the voices in my head say “don’t be boring” or “you already did that,” I try and remember the lines Stephen Sondheim wrote for Dot in “Sunday in the Park with George” that she sings to George Seurat (paraphrased here): “Stop worrying where you're going, move on / If you can know where you're going, you've gone / Just keep moving on… Look at what you want, not at where you are, not at what you'll be… Stop worrying if your vision is new / Let others make that decision, they usually do / You keep moving on… And the care / And the feeling… Just keep moving on / Anything you do, let it come from you, then it will be new / Give us more to see...”

[@REISSUED]

Love Sondheim 😭❤️

[@jayneterry8701]

Thanks for the reminder. As I sit at my sewing machine facing my art of Sunday afternoon on the Island of Grand Jatt(?)

[@clairewright8153]

I’m struggling at the moment, so I’m going to write these words out and look at them daily. Today I needed to read these words so thank you.

[@Laurad419]

I’m inspired to apply your technique to a photocopy of my grandparents wedding photo and a family tree thats just sitting in a folder somewhere 🤔….why not?! Really enjoy watching your process 👍🏼

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Each piece is so unique and creative! I love how your brain works Andrew. I wouldn’t have thought to put some of the layers as you have. You’re such an inspiration! 🌹

[@livingauthenticallyonmyownterm]

Andrew, I love each of your compositions! Mixed media can be daunting, but the end result can also be electrifying when your canvas comes to life, sometimes better than what was in our minds eye. Each one is so individual and wonderfully done!!! ❤

[@rital3406]

Just found your channel and I'm so inspired by your "reckless abandon" in experimenting with things out of your comfort zone. Your pieces are amazing! Thank you for providing this content and I wish you all the best in your many creative outlets.

[@REISSUED]

Aw thank you so much for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed this video and like the finished pieces ❤️

[@josephcercy8117]

This is my favorite kind of art that you make. It is very unique, interesting and powerful.

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Joseph!

[@aalex5710]

I love the title 'Redacted'. Truly art of this time in history!!

[@clairewright8153]

I am inspired to once again to pinch a few of your ideas. Love how you incorporated the print over to ornate frame, ingenious and I’m so glad you didn’t touch the face of the stunning woman, she is beyond gorgeous.

[@lynnetrue4103]

Wonderful! Especially "verdigris" and the fact that while you were asking your Alexa to spell it my Alexa was also spelling the wrong word for you 😂 hope you had fun dancing in Chicago!

[@REISSUED]

Haha I had to edit that scene in an Alexa free room because she wouldn’t stop!

[@judiburnett6527]

It’s beautiful. Excellent use of the medium and consciuosness

[@REISSUED]

Aw thanks Judi!

[@hsmd4533]

Thumbs up for something different and creative! So much of youtube is same old,same old but you bring originality.

[@MsPixieD]

Andrew, How apt for you to have that vintage dance book! You are "not the only one" who loves old book pages! An army of junk journalers love them, and Tim Holtz has made that vintage aesthetic his life's work 💙 So great to see you working in your beautiful studio!

[@xingcat]

It's so fun to watch you create your abstracts and collages. I use exactly the same types of wooden plaques that I find at Savers and Goodwill for my heavier pieces. I love anything that seems aged and/or falling apart, and try to push that in my own abstract work. Come for the art, stay for the argument with Alexa!

[@REISSUED]

Yeah I love the wooden plaques since they are nice and sturdy and easier to ship out!

[@rocioiribe5841]

Argument with Alexa 😂

[@AndyMartinMakes]

Thanks for sharing your process and some of the principles you employ while creating your art. It’s interesting to see what catches your eye and inspires you, and then reading some of the comments to see how you’ve inspired others. Good luck in Chicago!

[@Earthy-Artist]

I thoroughly enjoyed your argument with Alexa 😆. I my two fav's #1. man in the Bowler hat, and #2. The man in the larger frame wearing the suit. Sorry I'm so tired right now didn't catch what you officially titled them. Love how the man in the hat is peering above the frame. It would be so funny to hang that one in a bathroom or bedroom, but that's just my weird sense of humor 🤭.

[@rocioiribe5841]

Oh how did i miss this upload?! I bought a new mix media sketchbook this year and I'm committed to exploring creativity again inspired by your art videos. No pressure. Just art.

[@bonniehodgson8776]

Love all the art! The guy with the hat is amazing!😊❤️

[@pprata7793]

Hello Andrew! I have been patiently waiting for another one of your art videos. Although I am a true interior design junkie ( as my favorite KZbin channels will attest), your art videos are my absolute favorites! Your artwork is insanely fantastic! Thank you!!

[@REISSUED]

Aw thank you! I’m so glad you enjoy these videos!

[@ginajennings1664]

Add me to the list. The decorating and up cycles are great but watching the art pieces are my favorite. Kinda dinner and dessert, both are great but you savor the dessert.

[@andrewroberts1841]

Your point about yellowed paper is brilliant. I have recently begun unboxing boxes of paper from my life-- I understand your point-- fascinating art--

[@mslafave5689]

Welcome to Chicago, Andrew! It’s my favorite adopted city. Hope you enjoy your time here.

[@matishtar]

These are my new favorites of yours. I love all of them in their own way! The act of "painting" with different shades of paper brings the collages to a new hight, even more so when you go in with actual paint. Great work, thank you!

[@REISSUED]

Aw thank you so much! I agree that I kinda leveled up this time haha. Definitely gonna be more “paper painting” in the future!

[@matishtar]

@@REISSUED Cool, can't wait to see more!

[@joanmidgette6511]

Love these ideas; love that you’re reissuing new art by recycling existing pieces! You’ve inspired me! ♥️

[@REISSUED]

So glad you’re inspired Joan! ❤️

Thanks Alison! So glad you’re feeling inspired!

[@mistygeller3193]

Oh my goodness, Andrew, those are beautiful!! And what you feel when you look at them, both individually and as a group, has so much depth and complexity of emotions!! Wow, you definitely accomplished what you were going for! I love it!

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Misty! Yeah I love how these look as a series!

[@silviahigh]

Your art is so unique. It talks to me. I love it. ❤❤❤

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Silvia! ❤️

[@The_Smith]

"Verdigris" is my favourite, (tough choice though all the rest are stunning as well), I think it is the way it uses part of the frame that did it for me. Well Done Andrew.

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Jim! I love that one too!

[@mariamysoul]

I love "Uncharted".. I love the idea that we are a collage of all the places that we've travelled and still we are never fully discovered, it's a life long journey. ps. I Love the old piece over your fire place. Don't sell it, it's perfect there. Love from Lisbon

[@REISSUED]

Wow what a beautiful description Maria! Thanks for sharing that ❤️ And yeah, I’m getting ready to take the piece over the mantle and the man over my desk down from my site… since I can’t really picture my studio without them 😂

[@ginajennings1664]

Watching you make art♥️♥️♥️👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️

[@rosefortheKing]

Lovely as always, and yes I do see #HenryCavill with a mustache. 😊

[@serasmiles2]

I Love this stuff!! You have provided focus for my summer art residency. Thank you!!

[@REISSUED]

Aw that’s fantastic! Best of luck with your residency!

[@jubedance15]

I am so inspired by all of this. Thank you for sharing your craft with us. And for always being so generous with your process!!

Love your channel keep up the good work!

Thank you so much!

One word BRILLIANT ❤ I have liked and subscribed to show support for your channel.....hugs from Scotland 🤗

[@REISSUED]

Thanks so much! Glad to have you here ❤️

[@heathersmith8549]

These came out great. Very successful with a new to you process. I think my favorites are the Victorian woman and the bowler hat.

[@REISSUED]

Thank you so much Heather!

[@pattykelly6621]

So this is the first time I've seen one of your videos. I really enjoyed it. Its hard to find GOOD, innovative mixed media. I subscribed and will be watching your previous vids over the next couple days. I'm excited about having found a new artist to follow.

[@REISSUED]

Aw thanks Patty! I’m glad you found me! Welcome ❤️

[@dianeo]

I especially LOVE these art collage videos. You, Flanzella and Lydia Broderick opened up a world of collage art to me that has been so fun and inspiring, so thanks for that. These pieces are lovely and it's so interesting to watch the process. "Verdigris" is my favorite.

[@REISSUED]

Aw that’s amazing Diane! Thanks for watching!

[@Yskuch]

Very, very nice!!! Good work and an awesome interesting video, when you start to work, love it so much...

[@REISSUED]

Thanks so much! ❤️

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

I thoroughly enjoy watching your creativity flow. Thanks again for a look into how your genius mind works to produce some seriously rad artwork!😻

[@REISSUED]

Thanks Erica! ❤️

[@jackiehorn3724]

I do a similar thing, only inside junk and art journals. I have been wanted to start doing more “wall art”. And canvas work. Watching your videos I now feel I can push forward with that. I use a lot of the same medias, and enjoy doing image transfers on a jellyplate. Working on a portrait now doing one of my niece. In order to continue on, I feel the piece needs to be much larger to capture what I am seeing. So, I am going to take the chance. If I ruin it, I do it again, of differently.

[@REISSUED]

I love that Jackie! Go for it! And let us know how it goes ❤️

[@suzy8track]

Ha! So glad I'm not the only one who yells at Alexa for not hearing me corrrectly! Thank you for this! I always enjoy seeing the creative process and how it all comes together in the end! They all came out great!

[@cindyterroy4152]

I love this project and found it so inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

[@inapickle806]

Love them, especially Uncharted and Verdigris. The names add depth of understanding or something to think about for me (Redacted for instance has me thinking). Also, you sound like your puppy has done something very wrong when you rebuke Alexa, lol.

[@doloreslipper6897]

Beautiful work ❤❤

[@FrogeniusW.G.]

Wow.. Thank you for teaching. ❤

These are great! And i love the names, even though "vertebrae" would have worked too. 😂

[@REISSUED]

Hahaha it might have worked! Maybe I’ll let Alexa title the pieces next time 😂

Absolutely

Stay bundled up in Chicago ! Just yesterday I saw a video of a thrift store there. It is the largest one there and 3 stories...it was HUGE. can't remember the name, just Google largest thrift store in Chicago. Check it out if you find yourself with any free time, and maybe film the outing. Safe travels and be well.

[@REISSUED]

Oh yeah we’ll definitely be doing some thrifting in Chicago! Thanks for the tip!

[@ColtraneAndRain]

You are so talented Andrew! Unbelievable ! ETA: I wanted to buy uncharted but it's gone!😢

[@REISSUED]

Aw thank you so much! And Uncharted is still available! So go grab it!

[@tracynelson3279]

😂I had the same issues with Alexa. I spelled verdigris for her, but she still didn't get it. Anyway, I love how your pieces turned out. Very inspiring for me!

[@REISSUED]

Haha she is supposed to be helpful but is so often completely unhelpful 😂 And thank you so much!

[@jclennon]

I really enjoy watching your content. Are you familiar with the work of early 20th Century artist, Hannah Höch? I also think Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison:'s work "The Architect's Brother" sparks everytime I see you in your creative thought process. Keep up the good work.

[@REISSUED]

Thanks for watching! I’ll definitely check out those artists! ❤️

[@GabbyPaynter]

Hi Andrew, beautiful work as usual. Love the use of the new techniques. Would love to buy one of your artworks when i have money again. I'm curious... what kind of music do you like to listen to when you're making art?

[@REISSUED]

Hey Gabby! I usually just play the coffee house station on siriusxm. Or 40s junction if I’m in that mood. Also a lot of Adrienne Lenker if I wanna get specific

"Vertigris/Vertigo/Vertabrae" sold quick! (I was too slow...)

Yeah everyone loves the ones with the gold frames I guess!

[@johnk.blanchard503]

For me, it wasn't the gold (tho I DO love me some gold!); it was the concept of him peeking from below and how the paper over the frame mimicked the carving and your choice of that green tint and and and...@@REISSUED

Listen, I'm not ascribing any ill intent as I'm sure there wasn't any, but you might want to consider the broader implications of a white man defacing a Black woman's photo.
