Combination

This piece ended up being a combination of the two series I've had going – the "Album Series" has been my work with old maps, ledger paper, postcards, vintage photos, while the "High Plains Series" has featured mostly Montana landscapes. I took this photo last month of the Gallatin Range of mountains and crouched down so as to get lots of grass in the foreground. I ran filters on the photo to make it look more sketchy, adhered grasses I'd picked while in Montana, and also added some vintage things: a topo map of Yellowstone from 1904, a Montana map from 1903 and a Yellowstone postcard from 1914.
