Individual sections include building your own art kit; working with fashion magazine images, mixed media, vintage photos, and ephemera; and creating your own abstract art pieces. Vona is widely known for her inspiring collages that transform fashion magazine ads into feminist art pieces, questioning conventional notions of beauty and the overwhelming consumerism that supports them. Through paint, collage, and hand-lettered text, Vona creates her own artistic beauty that is subversive, detailed, colorful, patterned, layered, and visually bold. In the fashion magazine section, Vona shares over 200 full-color, full-page illustrations from her Selling Lies series, which reinterprets images from the pages of Vogue. Her visually dense style includes integrated, handwritten text in response to the images she builds upon. The alternately hidden and legible commentary questions notions of physical perfection and the pervasiveness of advertising within the beauty industry. This stunning guide and comprehensive collection of visually layered collage examples makes an excellent gift or collectible for artists, journalers, creative professionals, educators, and students of art history, contemporary art, and feminist studies.
