Friend and multimedia artist Bill Byres makes paintings and collages in traditional media but lately he has been producing more and more work on his computer. Click on the image above to reveal a BIG look (nearly 2MB image size) at the collage in the background.
You’ll probably have to scroll your browser page to see all of it. How many image sources do you recognize? What impressions do his combinations invoke in your mind?

Happiness is my first impression!
Snow still surrounds me in this red neck town.
So, a brightly coloured artistic rendition is welcome.
Fun also comes to mind. I recognize band members,
thinkers, oz, hawk feather, mayan skull, scullpture,
and each time I see more and more.
Well, it’s a breath of fresh air, it is. Thank you.
It’s huge – and fun to look at. Very well composed…
Some faces, paintings and graphics are readily identifiable while other bits offer just a hint of memory. Love the circle tie-ins.
I could not view the entire piece with zoom out – can you post the whole image? Thanks Bill & Bill.
I viewed this whole wonderful image by right clicking and then ‘view’
and it comes out as one jpg.
I’ll start the guessing off with ten…

What comes to mind.
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Thanks for the tip Joni.
Right on!
