CONNECTIONS

The cattle herd is a metaphor for the crowd .
I translated "modern hieroglyphics" as icons, and with the hand I immediately thought of the United Way logo. I had to put it in a lot of desgins when I worked for a non-profit tutoring agency.
A large van and a diplomat, both things come in handy on a road trip.
Vehicle + distastefully commercial = Hummer. Self-explanatory.
The planet and the room are spinning.


He looks like a backwoods hunting kind of red neck and the sentence sounds creepy and uncomfortable taken out of context, the two together made me think of Leatherface. Completely by chance, the pictures have several similarities in color and composition.
The woman is carrying flowers and heart balloons, paired with poets, there's love.

The hand and the sentence put a picture in my head of Ziggy Stardust Bowie holding his hand up intensely on stage. But I found this image that complements the other well.

During my experience I wrote "Marlboro Man" for the faint transparent man in the image below. Children draw houses and play cowboys and Indians.

  1. These images you've created are beautiful; The Bowie and the Spinning connections are genius.
