Topic: Welcome Back My Friends! Collage Appreciation. Posted: November 23 2010 at 14:07 |
Welcome Back My Friends
It is about time that I make collage for one the top 70's prog band of all time. Prog rock is Dead? I don't think so. It is more alive than back in their hey Days!. many had forgot ( VH1 Classic) how famous ELP was in the 70's. that they complete ignored them. ELP was one the band that got me into prog back in the 80's at the age of 14. I remember buying the first ELP and I was musically blown way, Man! what a great record and it didn't sound dated at all. This most be one the fastest collage I ever made that i like a lot. I like the simplicity of this one.  Enjoy ELP fans.!!!.

I think this one is better because: a) less use of photos and b) Love Beach is being stomped by Tarkus hahaha awesome idea!
Great, great work!

OK, I have a big problem with this collage which is that it actually ends.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Thanks yeah i agree. I liked the simplicity with the one. I didn't want to bombarded the collage with images and I didn't have that many good ones either. Can you tell how much I like Love Beach?

My opinion is this is undoubtedly one of your best.
Inspirational and has gone straight to my wallpaper and looks amazing. I like the way you have a section for each member and this is a very tasteful collage, not over cluttered but spacious and easy on the eyes. Tarkus destroying Love Beach is genius! The huge Brain Salad Girl is tasteful too without the phallus, or is it hidden there? LOL. I think it looks amazing as it comes out of the clouds like a great Goddess of Prog!
I love the Black Moon merry go round in the distance and the rainbow path and the shining light of the logo. Trilogy profiles work in well and especially the dove flying into the blue sky. In a lot of ways it represents the music, freedom, innovation and outside the box. The water dripping down the edge sets off the atmosphere beautifully. it is aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The depth and dimension of the artwork is astonishing. The illusion made real by a sense of an horizon and distance especially the way the rainbow comes from a distance in to the foreground.
Emerson shining the light out is nice, and really cool borders setting off the use of vibrant blue. Pictures at an Exhibition is great here with the band members in the frames, you haven't missed the excitement of the band live with Emerson's inferno piano and Palmer's gong. It is subtle but effective the way there are a few images behind the initial band member's images, to set off the journey of each member, past to present. A+ as usual (from a College teacher's POV that is, me).
