You can use cheap materials like magazines. I'm actually a collage artist so I have no problem with spending a little amount on supplies. However, it takes a long time to complete a piece--much longer than any of my paintings ever took.

The first thing I thought of was how many pages of stuff remarkably similar to this will be all over ffffound in three weeks time.
Now I ask myself, what's worse – the state of my mind, or the reality it exists within?
