That quote above is Alexander Egger's first paragraph on his home page. He's a designer whose site I stumbled across today and I dig his collage art work - the ones that look like he used a xerox machine. The site is full of his recent projects (both art and commercial) and they're arranged like chapters in a book. (Though, not to be confused with the chapters of his actual book recently published, and viewable on the site.) Anyways. The above collage is from the section called "Scientists say until 1964 mankind will live permanently on the moon". Interesting stuff.
There's sooo much to look at on this site!
Egger's drawings are also wonderful on the section called "But the Sun Likes Me"
And more great collage art from "We have no scar to show from happiness"
His client work and layouts (such as the one below) show clear signs of being influenced by Swiss designer Josef Muller-Brockmann.
Here's Egger's piece...
Here are two examples of Muller-Brockmanm's work:

The "But the Sun Likes Me" drawing series is so charming.
Good words.
