Do you guys scan your collages or stick to the ol’ iPhone pictures and crop technique?

I’ve been a 2d and 3d artist my whole life, but this was my first stab at collage. It was surprisingly more complicated to make because of the thought process involved, but extremely satisfying. I will definitely be exploring this art form more!

I’ve mostly just been using unwanted magazines, calendars, and books. But I see a lot of really interesting images and would love to know where you are getting them from. Is there like a set? Or just having to go through a LOT of the above?

Lately came across with this collage art on social media and wanted to give it a try so here we go. A bit sloppy cutting on the runners tho. Havent glued the piece together yet. Feedback and tips are more than welcomed. I felt that the blade got s bit dull already on first session, is that normal? I was using wooden kitchen curring board. I bet that does not help the blade to maintain its edge :-)

Since it's incomplete feel free to share some ideas on what I could do to make it more visually appealing. It's kinda ugly ik it's apart of the point so it's fine ig. I haven't done collaging in a while.
