WAIT. WHAT IS THIS?
If you are somehow a random person that has no idea how you ended up here:
Well, hi. Hello! I'm Marissa A. Ross.
Welcome to Stepdad Collages!
Each piece is made entirely by hand from my vintage print collection, which now spans hundreds of books and magazines from 1945 to 1973: Sunset, Playboy, LIFE, Better Homes & Gardens, Penthouse, The American Home, Playgirl, National Geographic, Disney Magazine, The Practical Encyclopedia on Good Decorating & Home Improvement, and god knows what else.
There is no digital sourcing, resizing, editing, etc.
Every Stepdad Collage is one of a kind, constructed with intention—reframing nostalgia to explore domesticity, gender roles, desire, discrimination, and discomfort through a contemporary lens. The glossy ideals of the past cut, rearranged, and confronted.
I'v have been creating these pieces for nearly a decade and this is the first time the entire collection has been for sale, and I appreciate you checking it out.
Things to Note
There are color discrepancies of the canvases due to not photographing them all in the same light, which I am sorry about. All pieces are on white canvas.
I'm happy to send extra photos, videos, etc. of any piece.
Please note these works are all fragile, handmade from vintage paper and are susceptible to light damage, and must be framed or stored accordingly. Stepdad is not liable for changes in artwork over time.
