A Dachshund Collage A Day with @acidinvader

Before he became a prolific, semi-anonymous creator of dachshund-themed collages, David Carnieโs biggest claim to fame was coining the term โbromanceโ in the mid-90s. (โIโm sorry,โ he says.) For the past year and a half, however, David has produced a dachshund collage nearly every single day under the pseudonym @acidinvaderโan anagram of his name.
David began collaging as an exercise in creativity after receiving a daily dachshund calendar as a gift from his parents. โAt the time, I had a soul-crushing job that was rendering me mentally bankrupt,โ David says, โso I gave myself an assignment: make one piece of art every day for one year.โ A year came and went, and he kept collaging.
โI like the random juxtapositions that collages create,โ explains David. โThatโs part of the โexerciseโ: letting go.โ But that doesnโt mean his collages are completely devoid of deeper meaning: โThereโs the occasional smarty-pants reference to literature, mythology, fairy tales or music.โ
