For LMAC round #120, @shaka once again provided us with an impressive photo that was almost a shame to cut into pieces.
And it was a lot of fun to make a collage again and admire the many creative works of the other LMACians.
Honestly, this round I was a bit jealous of some great collage ideas I found while browsing the community. But I won't tell you which ones. :-D
Für LMAC Runde #120, stellte uns @shaka, wieder einmal, ein eindrucksvolles Foto zur Verfügung, das fast zu schade war, es auseinander zu schnipseln.
Und es hat wieder viel Spaß gemacht eine Collage zu basteln und die vielen kreativen Werke der anderen LMACianer zu bewundern.
Ehrlich gesagt, war ich in dieser Runde etwas neidisch auf einige tolle Collagen-Ideen, die ich beim Stöbern in der Community gefunden habe. Aber ich verrate nicht, welche. :-D
About the collage
There was no creative atmosphere when I was inspired to make this collage.
It was, as so often, real life. The collage itself, was just the opportunity to express my frustration about it.
It all started during the weekend, when I was sitting with friends in the garden enjoying a bottle of beer, and we were talking about the latest events in our lives.
The topic soon switched to the economic situation in our jobs and our country. No surprise, at this time a lot of people are affected by this matter. Probably even worldwide.
In our small circle, everyone had their own fresh worries about what might happen in the future.
Worries were expressed, solutions were discussed and there was also a lot of debate.
But in one point all were in agreement... It is obvious we, the little people, are once again becoming the victims of higher considerations of interests. Which of course is based on foolishness, greed and ruthless, geopolitical ambitions.
I am actually not good in politics and do not want to make this a politics blog.
So I leave it to the viewer to interpret what exactly I wanted to express in my collage. I hope it can be recognized at least a bit in it.
Über die Collage
Die Inspiration zu dieser Collage, kam mir leider nicht in einer kreativen Atmosphäre.
Es war, wie so oft, das wahre Leben. Die Collage selbst, war nur die Gelegenheit, meinem Unmut darüber Luft zu machen.
Alles begann am Wochenende, als ich mit Freunden bei einer Flasche Bier im Garten saß und wir uns über die neuesten Ereignisse in unseren Leben unterhielten.
Das Thema schwenkte bald zur wirtschaftlichen Situation in unseren Berufen und unseres Landes um. Kein Wunder, zur Zeit sind sehr viele von diesem Thema betroffen. Wahrscheinlich sogar weltweit.
In unserer kleinen Runde, hatte jeder so seine eigenen neuerlichen Sorgen um die Zukunft.
Sorgen kamen zum Ausdruck, Lösungen wurden besprochen und es wurde auch gehörig diskutiert.
Doch in einem Punkt waren sich alle einig... Wir kleinen Leute, werden scheinbar mal wieder zum Opfer höherer Interessensabwägungen. Die natürlich auf Unvernunft, Gier und rücksichtsloser, geopolitischer Bestrebungen fußt.
Ich bin eigentlich nicht gut in Politik und möchte hieraus auch keinen Politik-Blog machen.
So überlasse ich dem Betrachter zu deuten, was ich in meiner Collage genau ausdrücken wollte. Ich hoffe, es ist wenigstens ein Bisschen darin zu erkennen.
Materials
To create this collage I needed some image elements from photos. I have used ühotos from the #LIL and from Pixabay. Please, see the table below.
I created the following image elements myself for this collage:
- The branches, in Blender.
- The rope and the hook, painted in GIMP.
- The shadows, lights and the sunbeams, in GIMP.
- The writing on the sign, painted in GIMP.
- The moss on the branches, painted using Clone Painting in GIMP.
- The tongue of the snake, painted in GIMP.

What is LMAC?
LMAC is a great community for artists of all skill levels. The name of the community is an abbreviation and stands for "Let's make a collage".
Just take a look. Even if you think you are not an artist, LMAC will probably prove you wrong.
Current round: LMAC #120.
Are you a good photographer and would like to contribute some nice good quality photos in exchange for good votes and tribute?
We are currently building our own photo/image library that we can use as a image source for our collages, but also every Hiver beyond LMAC is very welcome to use the images in it.
Was ist LMAC?
LMAC ist eine großartige Community für Künstler jeder Erfahrungebene. Deren Name ist eine Abkürzung von "Let's make a collage" (Lass uns eine Collage machen).
Schau einfach mal rein. Auch wenn du denkst, du seist kein Künstler, wird dir LMAC eventuell das Gegenteil beweisen.
Aktuelle Runde: LMAC #120.
Bist du ein guter Fotograf und würdest uns für gute Votes und Tantiemen schöne Fotos guter Qualität zur Verfügung stellen?
Wir bauen zur Zeit unsere eigene Foto/Bilder-Bibliothek auf, die wir für unsere Collagen als Bilder-Quelle nutzen können und aus welcher sich auch jeder Hiver ausserhalb von LMAC, sehr gerne bedienen darf.
Best regards | Viele Grüße

This is one interesting, thoughtful and comedy-like drama scenerio playing in my head right now.
Brilliant illustrations, a pleasure to keep looking at and thinking to one self❤️
One never knows for sure what an artist wants to say. And, an artist never knows what the audience will understand. So, I see in your amazing collage a reflection of my own concerns and ideas. To me it is quite clear (because my ideas are clear to me😄).
That guy with the pompadour and grand house is stealing those berries right out from under the nose of the gentleman with the wheelbarrow. That poor man works day and night to haul his berries and put food on the table. He cuts wood to warm his humble shack. And the guy with the pompadour...he's got that fancy hook and the advantage, way up there on that limb.
And the snake...well the snake tells us it's all a trick and the little man will be betrayed. No matter how hard he works.
That's what I see. I also see the delight you took in creating this masterpiece. I'm glad you found the time and inspiration to create a collage this week. Very rewarding for you, and your audience.
Have a great week. Enjoy the company of your friends and family. What else can we do?
Edit
The butterfly belongs to redheadpei, I believe, not me. I see she is the beneficiary but not noted in the blog. Thought you would like to know.
Hi,
What a joy to see you read my collage as if it were a book. I was not so sure whether one would be able to see it. After all, sometimes only the artist himself can see the message. Makes me nervous every time I do a collage. :-D
You hammered the nail right on its head with your wonderful analysis.
Many thanks @agmoore for your words. And also, thank you very much for pointing out my little mistake to me. :-)
I appreciate this great collage of yours @quantumg. It looks fantastic. More or less I agree with @agmoore about the underlying thoughts.
What terrifies me is to think that same scenario happens in every branch in every tree in the background.
On the other hand, you have very nice color and texture blend. It is joyful to stare and contemplate over it.
Thank you @m1alsan. I'm very happy you like it.
Me too.
Above every branch there is always a branch higher up. And it's like with the birds, where the lower sitting ones are always full of the poop of the others. It appears to me in this light as if this is just kind of a natural order in social systems. :-D
Dear @quantumg, what a lovely scene you have created. It seems contradictory for me to say so, since that old man is being miserably shorn; that said, with a lot of style.
It's a minimal, crisp, and symbolically large world. It has very beautiful notes that remind us that not everything in the world is paltry. There is humor, too, smiling and somewhat dark, that allows us for a moment to laugh at the ironies of the world. I loved it.
Hi @adncabrera.
Thank you. Makes me very happy you like it.
That's it! :-)
In the end, perhaps the only thing that counts is humor. After all, the universe itself proves humor to us every day, by all the crazy, sarcastic, sadistic and ironic events and people it constantly throws at us.
I'm laughing at all this almost every day. Sometimes it's very crazy laughter. xD
Ich glaub schon was zu erkennen. Gut gemacht.
