Cutting out the crap

For this week I have been seriously sick of creating stuff that I have no clue what I'm doing with. I can draw all I want but it doesn't seem to be getting me any closer to creating a design. I love doing the fine liner drawings but I need to start doing things with these drawings.
I decided to try cutting out parts of my drawings in hope that putting things behind it would inspire me. In Thailand this is what I found really made my work interesting. So I wanted to take what I learnt there into my practice. 
Cutting into the drawings did help and after lots of thinking and trial and error (what I tend to do a lot) I discovered that I really liked putting 'urban' textures behind it. I found a magazine and started collaging these texture walls behind them and I thought this made the work a lot more interesting. 
But what can i do with them now? the answer is I HAVE NO IDEA! Im going to do more experimenting and on photoshop too to see if I can make these into a repeat print.
