Out of all my collages, I think this is the one I am most happy with! I was browsing around, and I somehow found the above quote from Dr Seuss. I'm not one for cheesy phrases, but this one really has a nice feel to it I think. It's the same sort of thing that Hitler would say, but given that Seuss was emphatically anti-nazi back in his day, I will stick to the more positive implications. The quote itself, I believe, represents Seuss' work; not just anyone can invent nonsensical words and have several best sellers!The quote itself made me think a lot about my favorite childhood Seuss character the Lorax--the prophetic tree-hugging activist. It just seemed to fit as a central image for the quote. I found another image of a city, which I'm pretty sure was drawn by Seuss as well, but if not at least fits the spirit of his whimsical drawings. My happiest find for this collage was an actual Dr Seuss font that I downloaded and used within Photoshop--something I'd never attempted before. I included another clipped picture from the Seuss tribute postage stamp, took out a few characters, and it as well seemed to fit perfectly for my purposes. The characters surrounding him, if not all characters he's ever created, all seem to share the same trait of speaking their minds.
