This image is a mixed-media collage that combines analog textures with graphic design elements. It features a layered composition of torn paper, typography, and line drawings. Here is a breakdown of the specific elements: Text and Typography * "Let Beauty Go To Your Head": The upper portion of the collage features this phrase in a classic, elegant blue script. The text is oriented vertically (reading from bottom to top). * "Make": The central horizontal band features the word "Make" repeated several times ("Make," "Mak," "Ma"). The font is a heavy, distressed black serif style, giving it a stamped or weathered appearance. Imagery and Symbols * The Bird: In the upper right quadrant, there is a simple blue contour line drawing of a bird (resembling a seagull or pigeon) facing left. * Pixelated Cursors: Scattered across the lower half are several black, pixelated arrow cursors (mouse pointers), creating a contrast between the analog paper textures and digital iconography. * Halftone Pattern: On the middle-right edge, there is a patch of black halftone dots (Ben-Day dots), adding a pop-art or screen-print texture. Background and Materials * Maps: The foundational layer consists of fragments of topographic or street maps. You can see street lines, bodies of water, and place names like "Morris," "Fairfield," and "West Chest." The map colors are faded pastels—pinks, greens, and blues. * Torn Paper: The composition relies heavily on the aesthetic of torn edges and layered paper scraps, creating a tactile, "deconstructed" look. Color Palette The overall palette is vintage and somewhat muted, dominated by: * Off-white and Beige: From the aged paper scraps. * Royal Blue: From the script text and bird drawing. * Black: From the heavy typography and graphical overlays. * Pastel Accents: Subtle hints of pink and green from the map background.

➡️ Available on paperback!
Made a book with my studio mates!
We compiled our work into 292 pages of analog and digital collage. It was fun to put together and just as fun to look at. We hope you enjoy it!

Works in progress. Trying to expand while using these 12x12s as experiments for texture, mark-making, and layering collage.

At one point today I was streaming a baseball game, Shazam-ing a song playing in the background of the cafe I was at, and using my phone as WiFi for my laptop. Amazed by what we have accomplished as a human race, but also baffled by the idiotic things we haven’t solved. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Elon Musk has lost $200B+ since December. Tesla stock has tanked 53%. Investors are bailing. His empire is rotting from the inside.

500 protests are planned worldwide on March 29. These actions are WORKING. There are more of us than there are of them. Show up.
Screenshot of an article from the verge the headline is NEWS 'Tesla Takedown' protesters planning 'biggest day of action' / Organizers are calling for 500 demonstrations at all 277 Tesla showrooms, as well as Supercharger stations, on March 29th.

Screenshot from Futurama: Leela— a female humanoid with purple hair and only one eye, wearing a white tanktop, black pants, and a futuristic arm cuff— and Fry— a male humanoid with orange hair, two eyes, wearing a white shirt, a red jacket, and blue jeans— stand in a crow of other humanoids in various skin coloration and styles of dress from super casual to tuxedo evening wear. Leela looks skeptically at Fry and says, "Why are *you* cheering, Fry? *You're* not rich." Fry, belligerent and maybe a little defensive, replies, "True, but someday I *Might* be rich. And then people like me better watch their step!"
