when my grandmother was still alive, she had
made photo albums of the family before I was
born. The pictures were taken between the
years of 1910 and 1970, they are mixed in with
pressed flowers, ribbons, birthday cards, wedding
invitations, and foot prints from baptisms. This
was my first encounter with scrapbooks. In
high school, my best friend gave me a scrapbook
filled with pictures, stickers and sharpie marker.
detailing our likes, dislikes, and all of the fun
times we had together.
I’ve never formally made a scrapbook, but I’ve been
assistant to many.
Scrapbooks are an artistic way of presenting
something. whether it be a memory, or a hobby, or
your best friend, or your life, or your family. I
invite everyone to try to make a scrapbook and
make one differently. Make one as chaotic or
simple as possible. It could be your next art
project, give it a try.

Georgi Georgiev
I am a Bulgarian born artist living in NYC for the last eight years. My interest is in creating images by using other images, changing context and subject matter. i adjust them
to what I need them to be rather than what they already are.

Yuri LeonovI am an llustration major. The subject matter
that intrigues me spans from highly personal
to cultural issues revolving primarily around
the struggle in life, and a pursuit of some idea
of beauty. Formal elements of my work include
juxtaposition of illusionism and flatness, as well
as dynamic composition.
