Magnets
Description: Since high school, Oingo Boingo has remained my favorite band. They evoke all manner of imagery: skulls, spiders, and of course, a killer horn section! The art from their original albums and merch were always vibrant and fun to look at which was exactly my goal with this piece. A tribute to Oingo Boingo themselves while still channeling my own unique style.
Description: From Phil Machi's "Livestock" comic strip and "Better Off Hungry" animated cartoon comes this inspired design. One of two cloned sheep (Yoo or Yu) is looking quite pleased while presenting a mysterious green liquid in a vial. What will the liquid do? Why is this sheep so happy about it? Is she trying to poison you? Those are all excellent questions and neither will be getting answered anytime soon.
Description: A man pushes his shopping cart across The Store only to find a mysteriously placed puppet theatre. The characters at play inside seem to be mocking his every movement, but he can't be sure as to how or why. This moment of pure confusion is brought to life with characters from Phil Machi's "Retail Sunshine" comic strip series.
Description: Ever try to explain something to someone and they JUST. DON'T. GET. IT? Does it well up inside you until all your patience turns to molten lava and the only way left to reach them is to grab their fat little face, look them square in the eyes, and -- oh! No? Yeah, me neither. Inspired by Phil Machi's comic strip, "Retail Sunshine", this image captures one such moment in time.
