Yes, there is a Scrapbook Edge gallery at http://TheConcreteJungleBook.com, which displays the latest images created by Little Mo & the Nonhuman Crew (which can include you, too).
The blog focuses more on news of this emerging tribe, but also features photos/scans of physical scrapbook and digital scrapbook pages, as well as images of elements that could go on a scrapbook page.
We aim to enlarge the concept of what "scrapbook" can mean. Sterile, by-the-numbers, commercial scrapbooking does have the potential to unleash creative powers, but at the Scrapbook Edge we're looking for something more. Scrapbooks to reflect all the media we use, all the ways we look at the world.
Many photographers compose images that combine image, text, layers, memories in a single frame or snap. Artists transform walls and other public surfaces of an urban landscape into "pages" - a kind of a scrapbook, too.
Where to draw the line? Art journal? Collage? Altered book collage? Mixed-media? Comic strips at the bleeding edge? Who knows?
Eclectic. Authentic. Subversive.
Suggest a key word.
