STOLEN Blackout Poems

This series was inspired by the work of artist/writer Austin Kleon and those before him. In homage to the influence, I have titled this series “Stolen” and stamp each piece as such with the date the poem was created.  My series has already evolved beyond that which influenced me and I hope, in turn, it will influence others after me. My technique is pretty simple.  Like Kleon, I use permanent black markers to redact the newspaper or other printed printed material.  I then stamp the date and the word “Stolen” onto it and scan the whole thing.  That’s pretty much it!
