\u201cWhen I think how I am not following orders to do what people think I should do, I am scared, but then I think that it is my own work, if anything, that will be remembered. I can\u2019t work for other people. I don\u2019t do good work with their ideas. So I\u2019ll go on with my own.\u201d

The March Exercise<\/strong><\/a> is back and fully upon me \u2014 another opportunity to harness myself to an all-consuming discipline, with a month-long ritual of collage that has nothing to do with anything but my own way of making it. This whole winter thing began as a 2006 marathon experiment in time management, when I woke up one morning dedicated to the idea of transforming everything to do with how Dana<\/a> and I positioned our active graphic design practice. Here at TCM,<\/em> I\u2019ve periodically showcased an extended collage-a-day regimen, most recently with an intense summer flurry of diptychs<\/a>. I\u2019m back at it again. There won\u2019t be many words in this space for awhile, just traditional, cut-and-glue collage, until I surface for air in April. Until then, I hope you enjoy the Ex(plosion).
