THE FUTURE IS
NOW
Holly-Anne Buck / Collagism™ is an Australian multi-media artist working with the medium of collage. Her work is focused on creating art and ideas that are fresh, new and have never been seen before. Having devoted the past 20 years of her art practice living in Tokyo, London, NYC, Mexico City and Melbourne her work is a mashup of cultures, iconography and ideologies that has developed into the recognisable Collagism™ style.
BIG THINGS FOR A BIG COUNTRY
My most recent series of work Big Things for a Big Country celebrate the vastness and beauty of Australia. It is also a nod to the well loved Big Things of Australia that are tourist attractions in towns across the country. From concept to creation these fictional Big Things are created using the latest technologies of image manipulation and my love for a sunburnt country.
Cover Art

Over the past thirty years Steve Madden has taken his eponymous shoe company from a fledgling startup to a global, multi-billion-dollar brand.
