Jay Hodgson was awarded a Governor General’s Gold Medal at 28 years of age, for his work on compromising artistic passion for material safety. It worked—he’s his own patron now. He is also a thrice Juno nominated mastering engineer, a professor of Popular Music Studies, and a husband and Dad. He really likes analog paper collage, and remains unclear why. He hopes you like it, too. But if you don’t, that’s okay. There’s no accounting for taste. Follow him on Instagram @jay_hodgson_analogcollage.
