- Cant even describe how excited I am to share the first episode of my new video series, A Pretty Normal Day, with the incredibly talented collage artist Luis Martin!!!
Take some time out of your day to enter Luis Martin’s world of magic, paper, scissors, hole-punchers and color and see what a pretty “normal” day looks like for him!!
Thank you so much to everyone who made this possible. Thank you to Luis for being part of this, thank you to your wonderful husband Elvis for welcoming us in to your home. And a huge thank you to my amazing wife Angie for helping me film this.
Dont want to rant anymore so enjoy the video and go follow @artengineer and @stuconpodcast for more amazing collaging.
Make sure to follow Luis on TH-cam at / @luismartinart
And watch my new interview with him!
• Discussing collaging, ...
Let me know your thoughts!
"To hold the door open for someone else"....what a beautiful way of thinking!!❤
I agree!! He truly is such a great and selfless soul!! Thank you for watching! If you would like to learn more about Luis check out my channel, I recently did a great interview with him! Hope you subscribe!
Luis you really SPOKE to me! It’s the absolute best and most honest comment I can leave for you. Someone hurt my art and it took me eight years (!!!) to come back to myself. Now I explore it all. Thank you for speaking for all of us ‘outsiders’ and showing us that it’s ok. 😎
Beautiful comment! I love reading comments like this, im so happy Luis inspires so many people to be their most genuine selves!
I was impressed with your "pretty normal day" video i just watched and listened to. You really have a positive message and you cause me to want to get up, go to my art area and collage something...collage something unique. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! I hope you subscribe to the channel and also check out Luis! Yes!! Get up and go create some beautiful art! Express yourself its the best thing you can do, I hope this continues to inspire you!
This was inspiring! I love the title "A Pretty Normal Day" and I love this interview with Luis Martin. He's a sweetheart. Hearing from creatives, makers and artists is exciting. I can't wait to see the rest of this series. Super cool! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! I am glad you enjoy the concept of the series! I have another great Pretty Normal Day video hopefully being filmed soon with another great artist so definitely stay tuned! Its taken me a while to get to episode 2 but hopefully its coming soon!

You're an amazing person and artist. I am a 71 year young self taught artist. Most people don't really "get " my art but I'm in my happy place when I am creating.
On another note, what substrate do you use , paper, canvas, board??
Keep your joyous spirit. Your life experiences only enrich your work.

Refreshing xxx
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoyed I had a pleasure filming and producing this
Just "discovered" you and your work here in YT, and I am profoundly touched and surprised by so many similarities between our stories. I would love to see that Today Show episode you were in. Is it somewhere here in YT? Looked for it through Google, but didn't find it. I will take my time to enjoy each of the videos you post on Instagram and will look for those podcasts as well. Thank you for your openness, vulnerability, strength, passion for creativity, and your generous approach to your art.
Hello thank you so much for your comment and for watching! I am actually having Luis on my podcast show this Tuesday January 19th at 7pm EST and I will be asking him lots of questions about his creative art process I can also ask about the Today Show episode he refers to! I would love for you to join us!! Bring your questions and join the conversation :)
I like your work and your reading or interpretation of a finished piece. tfs
Your thoughts are even more beautiful than your gorgeous collage creations Luis!

You are soo positive made me smile.
Isnt he just the best!!
Beautiful, im also everything you are but british and do collarge. Wonderfull man and wonderfull video.
“I don’t cry, i sweat!!!” That’s a great line!! May i use it?? 🤫😉
I thought I was getting collage lessons. Instead, I got life lessons.
Right! Luis makes it very easy for me as a director, all I gotta do is let the camera run and everything he says comes out magical! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I have another great interview with Luis linked in the description if you would like to learn more about him!
Thank you! I love collage and all the things he said.
Thank you so much for watching! I love collage too and how you can bring things from different worlds and create something brand new! I have a great interview with him on my channel with Luis if you would like to learn more about him!
Wonderful!
😍😍
such a beautiful soul ❤
He is truly an amazing person, I always cherish the conversations I get to have with him!
@@XAVE325 I totally agree with you!
u have come through many advertises. So glad u chose art. God Bless U
Thank you for watching and commenting! Glad the algorithm is getting this story out to people!! Hopefully more people will continue to share because Luis is truly such a great person! I hope you will subscribe and enjoy the rest of my content! I have more great interviews with artists coming soon!
This is really inspiring 😌
Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment! I hope you will subscribe to the channel and enjoy the content I will be releasing featuring a day in the life of other artists! I Hope you continue to be inspired and will continue creating!
You are amazing. You made my day.
Thank you so much for watching! I have a great interview with him on my channel if you would like to learn more about him!
What a lovely insight into how Luis works - very inspiring. I'm curious though, @prettynormalproductions @luismartin is there a copyright thing with using images from magazines even though he is changing them and producing new art from it? Wonderful to watch. Thank you.
I had this question years ago. From my own experience, there is no copyright infringement once the image has been manipulated, in this case, cut/torn and then added to a larger image. But say I have a very specific, popular Calvin Klein ad with a famous model in it, even if I cut out the model's head and use it as the central focus in my college, there is no copyright infringement taking place. However, if I make multiple copies of the original full ad (without any manipulation to it) on good stock paper and sell them as framed art, then I am infringing on the copyright(s) of the original artist (the photographer).
Hello thank you so much for your comment and for watching! I am actually having Luis on my podcast show this Tuesday January 19th at 7pm EST and I will be asking him lots of questions about his creative art process including about the copyright questions! I would love for you to join us!! Bring your questions and join the conversation :)
Wonderful!❤️
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you subscribe and enjoy the rest of the content , I recently did another interview with Luis if you would like to learn more about him!
oh I love meeting you!!! I have sooo soo many art books ands feeling pressure to donate but I was thinking tear out your favorites!!!! Im not donating ! I am an artist...love watercolor and keep putting off painting ... I adore you!!
Yes Luis is amazing!! dont donate!! Keep making art always. I know life gets busy and sometimes creating gets put to the side for other pressing matters, but always try to find some time to create, its an amazing form of self care! I am actually having Luis on my podcast show this Tuesday January 19th at 7pm EST and I will be asking him about this. I would love for you to join us!! It will be live streamed right here on TH-cam and you can ask questions!
Luis is very inspiring with his collages but I was wondering if you want to start doing collages and sell them. I noticed that the pictures he uses are from magazines like Vogue and the Dietrich picture he used. How is it that you would not get into trouble with copyright? Interested in how it works. Thank you in advance
That is a great question and something even I had to look up because you got me curious! From what I have been able to find online so far, "Collage is a time-honored art form that utilizes pre-existing materials, including artwork and photographs. Often the materials will be copyrighted. So your unauthorized use of those materials would be copyright infringement unless your collage qualifies as fair use. Unfortunately, there is no legal rule on whether collage as a category would be fair use. It will depend in each case on an evaluation of the four fair use factors with respect to the particular collage." I am actually having Luis on my podcast show this Tuesday January 19th at 7pm EST and I will be asking him about this. I would love for you to join us!!
@@XAVE325 Hi There. Yes thank you I will try to join in although I'm in the UK so will check time differences. Thanks again
@@markstone-brant9480 awesome hope to see you there!! Cheers from the other side of the Atlantic!
Oh you are like a human hug
hahah I never heard that before, I think im going to have to start using that! Luis is amazing!!
Your artworks are Amazing👌‼️❤️ Toom@CapeTown
Yesss Luis is amazing!! Go check out more of his work @collagedream!!
For a straight white guy I really identify with this guy.... lol
hahaha he is a great person!! I would love for you to watch our interview tonight at 7 pm EST right here on TH-cam I will be interviewing Luis and it would be great if you want to ask him questions!
I like creating in unsafe places.
Thank you for sharing! What does that make you feel and how do you think that helps your art?
You had a boyfriend at 8😳
hahaha Ill have to dive deeper into that with Luis next time I speak with him!
Wow. In Nigeria you'll be beaten to read your book instead of being encouraged to do art
I am so sorry to hear that :( art is so necessary in this world!
What a lovely person. Thanks for the peek into his day. 🙏
Thank you for watching!1 It was an honor to join him in his studio! Make sure to check out his art at collagedream.com

So enjoyed this and learning about Luis Martin. I loved many of the things he had to say about being an artist and showing the way for others.
Yesss! Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I have another great interview with Luis linked in the description if you would like to learn more about him! Its another great interview full of inspiration!
Luis, you are speaking for me. My studio is my safe place. When I am there, no other place exists. It's where I can be me; feel safe, creative and in another world. When I am in the world of collage, I sit at my table surrounded by bits and pieces of color, having no particular piece of art in mind. And then it starts to come together. Voila! Keep creating. Talent should not be wasted.
Hi Luis, love your art and so enjoyed this video. I’ve been painting for a while but am really getting interested and excited about collages. I’m having fun with the process and was thinking maybe I would bring some to our local gallery and shops to sell as I do my art. If I may ask, I’m just wondering about selling collages with pictures of people or things from magazines and books, some say we can’t do that because of copyrights, could you share your opinion or knowledge on this.
thanks and keep creating!
what a lovely soul..so inspiring..thank you for sharing you beautiful art :)
I agree!! His work and outlook on life are super inspiring!
such a wonderful man -- and so handsome!
hahahtruly a beautiful soul inside and out. Thank you so much for watching! I have a great interview with him on my channel if you would like to learn more about him!
Nothing as pure as the love of art. Love is love is love 💕
long live the love for art!! Thank you so much watching!
Hi. I just found your channel and this was the first video I watched...What great inspiration to start my day! Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself with us. I am also an artist, mostly mixed media and junk journals. Both use a lot of collage and being fairly new to the collage part of my art, I'm always looking for new inspiration...I found some :-) Hugs-Tera
wow thank you so much for this! I am glad you found the video and that it has brought you inspiration! Everytime I watch it I want to get my living room messy with collage materials! Thank you for subbing to the channel! I have many more videos like this one planned, its just been hard to do with the pandemic and all but I do enjoy making these and sharing wonderful stories like this so hopefully soon! Thanks again!
Luckily Luis didn't go to Catholic school: gay, left handed? Oh dear.
hahaha life had another plan for him thankfully!
I remember as a Child noticing that Left handed people were always more Artistic .. so many years later I started to do things like cleaning with my left hand to kick start my Creative juicy side of my brain ...and the same with Dyslexic People as well I feel it is a SUPER POWER!! I am also a Witch ..everything is Sacred and everything is Energy!! I love the idea of using Our obstacles as PLATFORMS!!! thanks for introducing us to Luis Martin what a GEM!
He is wonderful. I cant wait to follow his work. Its so fun.
Yes Luis is truly great! The links to his TH-cam and Instagram are all in the description! Thank you so much for watching I also linked another interview I did more recently with him, I hope you get a chance to watch and enjoy :)
Fabulous video and what an engaging and warm person you are. I’m a mature uni student (in my 40s) studying a degree in art history and recently made Frida Kahlo masks using collage, for an exhibition at our campus gallery (and an assignment). I loved doing it, so I have been watching lots of collage videos to further my understanding. Love your collage art! Thanks for the video. With love from 🏴
What a delight to come across your story! There is something magical about paper and using it to express yourself to create new art. I totally get it! Beautiful work. You are inspiring ♥️🙏
Thank you so much for watching! I agree collaging is an awesome and very therapeutic way to express yourself! Luis' story was too amazing to not document it!
My daughter and I are both dyslexic too. Mainstream would say it's a disadvantage, but we consider it a superpower!
Hey Xavier! Thank you for this interview :) It was really interesting to watch :) Keep it up !
Thank you so much for watching!!
You are so great!! I love your art ,the studio,your smile.Thanks!.:)
You are the gay man everyone wants as a best friend. 💜 Love your out look in every thing. Light & Love to you & your life. 🥰😘👋
hahaha he is a great friend, I consider myself blessed to have met him and appreciate any time I get to work with him!! Thank you so much for watching! I have a great interview with him on my channel if you would like to learn more about him!
Thank you so much for this video. Beautiful soul. Would like ti be friends with you. So inspiring ! All the best and much love from Marseilles/Paris. 🌹🍀🌻🌞
I’m glad you dropped the bf and not the art!
my fav technique...great work, great personality! High five to lefthanded
Luis is really the best and collaging is so therapeutic I love it as well!
Inspiring, love your collages, your technique and especially how you express yourself. I have been a makeup artist my whole life transitioning in my older age to other art expressions, no longer erased like makeup but to create something more lasting. Your colour palette and sense of texture is truly wonderful!
Magical interview, artist, and video. Loved it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! Luis is truly magical and I am so grateful he welcomed us into his studio! I have another great interview like this coming soon featuring another wonderful artist so make sure to subscribe! :)
