Antoine Orand

I came across Antoine Orand's work on It's Nice that and feel really draw in by the use of expression and colour within his creative collage. I'm a great fan of using other materials within collages such as this. The use of plastic or another transparent material really adds an element of texture to the piece. 
Collages such as this could be used for backgrounds for pages or interesting pages to include textures and other things to explore.
I'm not too sure that these are appropriate for a children's book but the use of bright colours and exciting expressive marks is something that I could consider when creating the outcome.
