Ars longa, vita brevis - art takes time, life is short

Is there a name for collaging together your own drawings digitally? Or generally, digital/physical hybrid/fusion? I don't know what hash tags I'm meant to be using. Even if I make a physical collage from my own drawings, I feel like that's not what people normally mean by collage.

I will pin the post, as a way of saying, hi, that's me! Gardener by day, artist by night, keepin' it real.

I don't use AI, btw, ever.

Made a cover for this junk/art journal. It's bound with an elastic band for now, but I like it that way so it may remain so. I decided on a sombre cover, the better to frame the chaos I intend to fill it with! It's black acrylic paint dry-brushed with two blue shades and some gold. I tinted the bookshelf background blue to match. I'm still going to grunge these pages up some more - faded edges, maybe a few coffee stains etc. :D Eventually I'll even draw in it...
