Hey, it's CJ here! Welcome to True Point of Creation, the place where magazines stop being junk mail and start becoming actual art. I started this whole thing because I wanted to show people that you don't have to be a "real artist" to make something amazing. All you need is a pair of scissors, some old magazines and the willingness to just have fun with it. Stick around because there is a ton of good stuff on this page for you. I even put together some free resources further down the page so make sure you scroll all the way down and grab those before you leave!
BECOME A MEMBER
The Creative Access Pass is your way into the good stuff. Early videos, behind-the-scenes content, VIP livestream perks, and a brand-new Surreal Collage Character Card mailed to you every month, each one a limited collectible print full of surreal magic. It's more than a subscription, it's a closer connection to the art, the process, and everything I'm building. And it lives only here!
If you've been thinking about grabbing one of my collage art pieces, don't sleep on it because once they're gone, they're really gone! Every piece is a true original, handmade by me using real magazine clippings. They are not prints, they are not copies, they are one of a kind pieces of art that took real time and real energy to create. They're honestly some of my favorite things I've ever made and I just love the idea of them finding a good home. Click the button or go to the shop tab and find the one that speaks to you!
Ever stare at a pile of magazines and have absolutely no idea where to start? Yeah, I've been there too. That's exactly why I built the Concept Composer. This is a creative idea generator made specifically for collage artists. You can generate a single focused theme to build your piece around or you can throw two completely different themes together and see what kind of unexpected magic comes out of the collision. It even breaks down your concept into subject, tone, focal point and symbols so you actually know what you're going for before you ever pick up a pair of scissors. It's honestly one of my favorite things I've ever made and members get full access to it. If that sounds like something you need in your creative life, joining is a no-brainer.

This section is all about you and giving you the tools to keep creating! First up is the Collage Recipe, a fun little tool that spins up a random collage idea for you when you don't know what to make next. Below that you'll find some of my personal curated playlists on Spotify because the right music honestly makes all the difference when you're in creative mode. I also want you to have a place to share what you're making so I set up the Creative Juice Facebook group just for that. Come in, share your creations, see what others are working on and let's hype each other up! And don't leave without grabbing the two free PDFs we have for you.
