Mid-centurion is a whimsical LZ Original character made of iconic elements & colors from mid-century design. This mash-up was my first challenge entry & is among my personal favorites.

Wagon Wheel Mandala. To create this LZ Original design I fit ornamental flourishes and marching salamanders together just so. Get it on a tee or tapestry in my Threadless Artist Shop.

The physics of this LZ Original design aren't exactly reality, but it's the profound message that counts: Hate's Heavy Lighten Up. Find this graphic on tees & things in my Threadless Artist Shop.

Hexagons tickle my brain as does 'The Room' games with their spooky, atmospheric geometry. This design is my take on their symbol for 'Everything and Nothing'. On tees, prints+ in my Artist Shop.

I like learning new words when I bump into them in the wild. 'Physiognomy' is an example one of those and I liked the word so much I created this digital abstract art around it. For fun. An LZ Original.

I am an "Optimistic Pessimist". I think things are pretty messed up, but am perpetually hopeful they'll get better. Emo brows help tell the story in this LZ Original typographical design. 😀
