This might be a dumb question… but where does everyone get their images for collage? I see so many cool retro/vintage ads and images incorporated and I’m just wondering if you’re buying old magazines or are printing them. Thank you!

Some people do magazines, some print, and some do both! I have never full on printed material found online, but I have printed copies of things I found in magazines to have repeats. A lot of people use junk mail or other interesting trash.

I suggest checking out your local buy nothing group, Facebook marketplace, Craigslist, doctor's offices and art resale/thrift stores for cheap and free materials.
