Ah, did my share of cut and paste :o). The great smell of burning wax and the flesh of your hand when it accidentally bumped the hot wax machine....lol. I had as many burns on my hands as I had cuts from the xacto knives...lmao!

Those were the days! ;o).

Yeah, 1967 - 1975, I finished all artwork, logos with set squares, T square, compasses, rubber cement, hot wax, small brushes for lettering...imagine cut and paste some lines and words in order to fit into a column. My first graphic computer was Amiga 2000 and a BW NEC laser printer cost me C$10,000 in 1980 and a stat camera which I still have them in my basement. Those were the days.

My favorite was pasting on tiny little page numbers by hand ;o). Couldn't get em with your fingers (too small), so you had to pierce the corner of the cutout with your knife, pick it up and lay it on the layout board ;o). Tedious upon tedious. There was just no existing without an xacto knife, a blue pencil, a T-square and a brayer within arms reach ;o).

Shoot, I was an illustrator way back then. My technique for pen and ink was stippling with technical pens. Gave me carpal tunnel. I also remember when I got my first copy of PSP. Back then it came on a floppy disc. Photoshop came on like, 2 or 3 discs.

Ah the good old days when I used to do all my photo-montages with a keen eye, a steady hand and a bunch of Swan Morton scalpels and glue! Remember glue? 

Last year sometime, or was it the year before I was at an exhibition of surrealism and there were some Max Ernst collages there. Near perfect,barely a visible seam! Okay it was a low light show to protect the work from the ravages of light I suppose and my eyes aren't what the once were.(hoooray for the zoom tool!)  but still,amazing skill,not to mention an eye for a strange image.

We used to make fake scars on our arms with the cement glue. lol  When I was in college our teacher made us retouch corners with a small brush, white paint and a magnifying glass to make sure our corners were really sharp. That was when I was in college, and the year after I graduated they got computers in the graphic arts department of that college and they probably stopped using cement glue, technical pens and white paint shortly after that!  rofl  Can't make fake scars on your arm with photoshop though... 

Thanks for sharing that link Erosiaart, now we know where photomanipulation comes from!  :)
