Unravel the Rat’s Nest

Unravel the Rat’s Nest I know, I know–your’re offended. Does it help that my intent was not to provoke anger or imply blasphemy? I only thought that this might be the ultimate selfie. I usually naturally gravitate towards symbolic work and was also interested in this more situational approach. This does bring to mind the […]

Jesus Selfie

Jesus Selfie I know, I know–your’re offended. Does it help that my intent was not to provoke anger or imply blasphemy? I only thought that this might be the ultimate selfie. I usually naturally gravitate towards symbolic work and was also interested in this more situational approach. This does bring to mind the old debate […]

I Want More Life

I want more life, fucker Such an iconic quote from Blade Runner—a movie all about questioning what it means to be human. Does an ultra-futuristic robot, choosing the more primal human behaviors, really seem so advanced and technological, afterall?

An Eye for an Eye

An Eye for an Eye Subtle and sinister, this simple facial modification evokes a vengeful intent, while its unexpected surrealism causes the viewer to double-take when they notice what is wrong.

A Heart Attack

Here our protagonist is proclaiming their friendship and scratching an embarrasing itch while steering clear of any nose other than […]

Don’t Squat With Your Spurs On

Don’t Squat With Your Spurs On This strategically punctured donkey whimsically hints at the after effects of this phrase. Western typography, parchment, and sepia tones round out its cowboy tone + manner.

Kim Dong Un

“The Revolution is Carried Out By Means of One’s Thought” Caricature. Political satire. Penis envy. Clearly the reason for such posturing and aggression has something to do with compensation. A deeper, more Freudian, explanation is also offered for obesity. This enigmatic quote by Kim Jong-Un is better understood now. Don’t show him this—I don’t believe […]

Suicide Giraffe

Suicide Giraffe Most design comes from having a specific problem that you purposefully set out to solve. That intentional thought-sequence leads to choices of imagery, type, colors, position, and styles all working towards meaning. I still don’t know where the idea for quips like this originate—seemingly out of nowhere. My best guess is that I […]
