When the news bums you out too many days in a row, it\u2019s time to make art.<\/a> That\u2019s what Joe Webbart <\/a>is doing to help make sense of the “craziness of the modern world.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The artist shared with Bored Panda<\/i><\/a> that he makes collages from newspapers, mixing up one image with another (all which are usually sourced from the same magazine), to examine the contrast <\/a>which exists on planet Earth.<\/p>\n

He says:<\/p>\n

\u201cAll of my images are hand-made, without the use of computers<\/a>. I find the images in newspapers, magazines given on trains, buses and bins.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

My collages work to a basic rule of sourcing just two or three images. With these I can reinvent the original scene to communicate<\/a> a new idea.<\/i><\/p>\n

I suppose I\u2019ve become fairly anti-technology. Although I now promote my art on websites, own an iPhone and use Facebook. It\u2019s confusing, I wish I had been born 100 years ago.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Each collage is incredibly thought-provoking,<\/a> to say the least.<\/p>\n
