I spent the later part of this week working on this friendly little Sloth.
Very happy with the finished product, and I hope you like it too!
Also, here is a video about Sloths, with the quote ”slipperier than a greased pig”

A Dog’s Dinner — Randy Mora, 2012
Digital collage, such as this extraordinary recent piece from Columbian illustrator Randy Mora, adds new twists of legal consideration to arguments for (or against, if you choose to lean that way) fair use. Mixed media collage, traditionally constructed from bits of imagery snipped from books and magazines, is given a general nod of “legal approval” (even independent of fair use), primarily because these pieces are a physical construction — much as a painting or sculpture is a physical construction. The artist is not “reproducing” the source imagery, but merely transferring it’s place from a printed page to a canvas. In a sense, when making a sale, the artist is reselling a physical object.
In digital collage, the artist is reproducing the original image — scanning it into a computer, making modifications, and placing it (potentially) into many new pieces. That one-to-one ration of transferring the original object from bound source to finished canvas is lost.
Here, then, is where the transformative aspect of fair use becomes crucially important! While digital collage has at its core the — gasp! — reproduction of existing imagery, it is in how an artist chooses to use those images — hence, building an extensive visual language, not so dissimilar to a painter’s palette — that original context is superseded by a new creative vision. Thus, as we’ve seen before, new meaning is brought to something old.
