Holz the Phone

Jenny Holzer's truisms have been deeply affecting me for a while now. Three or four in particular stick with me, and this is one of them. There's so much to be thought about in this statement for me that I end up just getting lost in the very idea of this worldly interconnectivity that will forever be inescapable in our age as technology increases and we become more jaded and integrated into the systems we abide by.


This is a poster made strictly by using type, Helvetica Neue Bold 60pt and Ultralight 1000pt. The forward and backslashes run through consistent letters to remind the viewer of even the interconnectivity of the statement itself. Primary color palette. This is one of my favorite pieces.

Blogging is a Thing

So bad at this. This is why I'm not a blogger and generally stay away from blogs in the first place. I tend to get so caught up in what's physically in front of me I forget to check and remind myself of these sort of intangible things I'm supposed to remember. 

I got a job, on campus, graphic design. I no longer work at a grocery store which is pretty beneficial in the progress away from shooting myself in the face. Not to say the stress will disappear, but certainly the amount of crap I had to deal with there is gone, so that's a plus. Also, I'm doing what I want to do for the most part, and getting paid for it, and learning more about my profession in the process.

As to not leave this post image-less, as I really don't like doing anyway, I'll post a digital collage I used in a page of a much longer experimental sketchbook project that, once I get back, I will scan and upload it in its entirety. I'll follow with some catch-up posts on my work.

This was directly inspired by Beth Hoeckel and uses personally found imagery.
