What size do these print at?

Each image is drawn in portrait format (832×1216) with an even margin — prints clean on A4 held vertically.

Can I use my own subject instead of the three shown?

Yes — that's what the direction field on the page is for. Type your own idea and the same three hands draw it in the same three styles.

Can I get my own city or subject as a collage?

Yes — type your own subject (my city as a collage is the built-in example) and the same three cut-and-paste hands assemble it.

Is this real historical artwork, or new images?

These are new images drawn in the spirit of vintage-paper collage, editorial mixed-media collage and junk-journal scrapbooking — not scans or reproductions of existing work.

Collage art: an engraving cut-up, a torn-magazine portrait and paper ephemera

Collage — a Victorian engraved woman in a long dress whose head is a ringed planet, hand-tinted ferns behind her and a cut-out hand holding a moth, yellowed engravings and foxed book pages, cut precisely with scissors and laid down with shadows as flat as glue

Reading 3Paper ephemera

Collage is scissors and glue turned into a style — cut and pasted worlds sharing one page. These nine cross a Victorian engraving cut-up, a torn-magazine portrait and a layered page of scrap paper and ticket stubs, rendered as vintage paper collage, editorial mixed media and a junk-journal spread. Ask for your own subject and the same cut-and-paste craft assembles it.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
