What The Cats Discovered

What The Cats Discovered - digital collage by douglas brent smith, 2 March 2024


With glue and paper, once you've set the glue you either live with it, tear it off, or paste something over it. That makes the work exacting and a bit risky.

With a digital collage, such as this one, you can change your mind and simply iterate. That's fun, too. There could be an endless series of versions of the same picture that is not the same picture. 

I don't necessarily want that, but I wasn't sure I was satisfied with the first version (above) so here are some alternatives. The What the Cats Discovered Remix, or More of What The Cats Discovered:

I promise that I will NOT do this with every collage. Tonight, it was fun.
