For a Friend

Made this one for kicks, for a friend.

Youth Culture

This personal project comments on the sustainability of the ideals of youth culture. I used popular imagery associated with a certain sect of our generation that is consistently undefinable thus far by anything other than common material objects such as clothes and brands of products. It is a topic that, amongst my peers, has been beat into the ground without eradicating much of the mythos surrounding the definition of the movement that is: Hipsters.

Kid Sister: Kid No Longer

My sister is graduating high school. That is crazy. Seems like just yesterday I was jumping in leaf piles with her and placing her in miniature doll beds, pretending she herself was a doll.

I threw together a graduation party invite for her; looks like this:
