Gun Flaws

 America, I love you. You have created many of the things I love. Your Punk Rock was amazing. Rock and Roll spawned from your shores but you are letting the side down with your homicide rate. Homicide; the act of a human being causing the death of another human being. Especially via guns. Now I know you love them but there are times when you can protect yourself from a so called threat by using other methods of protection. 

Now there are a few things that may be to blame.;

•  Maybe you are violent people; nope other countries have had just as a violent past as you guys and they don't have a mass shooting every other week.
• Maybe you guys play violent video games; nope, the same games are played all over the world.
• Maybe you have violent hip hop and rock music that is teaching young people that guns are cool; nope, this music is widely available in other countries too. 

Maybe you guys have a 2nd amendment that gives you the right to bear arms; you do but that doesn't mean you have the right to kill anyone. But accidents do happen when you keep a killing machine under your bed. Maybe you have an association that promotes guns and refuses to accept that murder using said weapons means they need to be regulated. oh yeah, you do and it annoys me so much.

the people who want to regulate and put controls on your guns are not evil they just want to stop people who carry out the mass shootings with your favourite thing. they don't want to take them away. So let the below be a warning to you and your unfair behaviour to straighten up and take a little bit of regulation to save the people of your nation. The press does say you are an exclusive organization of angry white men & I believe them all the way.

Anyway, in design terms these are themed like 1940's style newspaper ads, when the good time supposedly were, and are for the NRA (national rifle association). They are racist, sexist as well as in appropriate to be provocative. it tends to make people listen when you over step the mark.

a boxing match with yourself

My favourite female musician of recent years who just records such beautifully simple but quirky songs. I have designed for this aussie before, sending her my previous poster of her work and getting a response. still fan girling. but this is a clash of her two best known songs, set up as a boxing match poster as each of the songs could be perceived as a persona or guise that she has. The black and white colours are a reflection of all of the design that she has done is of this nature. The images have the spotted treatment cos they needed something extra and a little Lichtenstein goes a long way.

PS her new album is coming out soon. *faints due to over fan girling*

The Photocopier is my Screen

 The Photocopier is my screen. Andy is my hero so I combined the too. Having been crowned king of the photocopier by illustration station cos I am always photocopying things. I decided to experiment more with the potential of the copier. Using the one colour filter I made the above. it simply screens a colour cast over the image. The image of Andy was from the i Paper as it was a review of his exhibition in Liverpool, which I must must must go to.

Now Andy's probably most famous piece is Marilyn and these are Andy as the Marilyn's , at least my interpretation. Using a photopied image and a marker pen set. One is the colour version, when he was in the star light and the other, the black and white as his starlight starts to dwindle as well as his mortality, having died twice.
