Yep, just pick them up off the ground! That&#8217;s how Pittsburgh based artist <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sethsclark.com\/work\">Seth Clark<\/a> got started on his absolutely mind-blowing collages. I wrote about him way back in 2011 and now, in 2018, I finally got to ask him all of my questions! Where does he get all of this stuff, is his studio like an episode of <em>Hoarders<\/em>, did he build awesome (while incredibly unsafe) tree houses when he was a kid? I got answers for everything!
