Abraham-Like-Lincoln

Abraham –Like– Lincoln Have you ever -like- met someone that -like- uses so many -like- filler words that their speech is utterly destroyed? What if the speech that was destroyed was one of the most famous in history? Does it mean that I’m old if I make fun of contemporary culture and communication? -Like- get […]

The Big Lebowski

The Big Lebowski In one of the most quoted movies of all time, The Dude lifts a pencil doodle from Jackie Treehorn by way of frottage. As luck would have it this lended itself to looking stylistically different than anything else in the book. Blend the literal idea of that situation with some conceptual imagery […]

Jesse James

Jesse James When Jesse James uttered these last, famous words–before turning his back to Robert Ford–who then assassinated him, he didn’t realize how the visualization of this quote basically made itself. Old West letterpress letters that also happen to look dusty came together to do double duty. Put them into the configuration of a picture […]

Dwight Schrute

The Eyes Are the Groin of the Head The best sitcom ever. And a ridiculous rendering for a ridiculously great quote from it.

Albert Einstein

I Often Think in Music This quote by Albert Einstein brings to mind an unseen complex dimension of  harmony and physics. Planes, particles, strings, and arcs move through space in rhythmn and syncopation. I recently started to learn the guitar. I wouldn’t want to    try and play this.

Tyler Durden

Maybe Self Destruction is the Answer Coming together? Coming apart? Improving or destroying? Sometimes it all blurs together, and even with the best of intentions you lose track of which is which. Meanwhile, any Fight Club fans can probably read other layers into Tyler Durden’s philosophy.

Yoda

Yoda Are you on the light side of The Force, or the dark? Either way–they’re both concerned with amounts of light. This Lite Brite construction of Yoda plays up that notion while allowing Yoda’s lightsaber to actually glow. And if you want to delve deeper: the right side mostly has an absence of actual light, […]

The Buddha

“A Man Who Conquers Himself…” Internal and external war transformed into a state of peace. Zen and design.

For Darkness Restores

“For Darkness Restores What Light Cannot Repair” Much conceptually driven design tends to be intellectual. There are symbols to be read, situations to be noticed, puzzles to be deciphered, combinations to be compared. This way the viewer can understand something. But it is also possible to focus on emotion. Creating a mood or a vibe […]

You Can Fool All the People

“You Can Fool All the People…” This quote is attributed to both Abraham Lincoln and P.T. Barnum. With such confusion as to its authenticity it made sense to use equal parts Americana and circus in its visual interpretation. This mashup (both verbal + visual) could also suggest the questionable nature of the country at times, […]
