lately,
i've had the
urge to stick a
vintage flower
on everything
i make.
especially
on something
that is very pure
and minimal
to make
it explode and
bloom like a flower
...like the virgin
de guadalupe!
it makes me
think of my youth
and going to the sticker
store on pine street
I remember having an
incredible collection
of flower stickers.
i refused to use them.
i would just browse through
them daily and fight the constant
urge in my body to rip off the
back and stick it!
i was quite
a restrained child.
i still am.
once and a while
I have to tell myself to let go
of something precious
or
put it to use
something
that I guard and suffocate
with the routine glance of the eye;
the brush of a finger
there's nothing
worse than curating
objects like they're
in a museum.
I'm guilty
as charged

beautiful images.
I still have thousands of beautiful stickers that I keep tucked away in my drawer. Someday...

I recognize that. I used to 'save' the things I cherished. I still do at times.

these are awesome. i especially love the second image.
i've got stickers i've never used.
His map paintings are so beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing, now I have a new favourite artist to add to my list.
wasn't that store magical? each sticker held the promise of a beautiful letter, or special package, or a birthday surprise. I still love going there. :)
really cool pictures, I like them
Now, this I adore. I love how he has taken two very contrasting types of imagery, the flowers being feminine & the cars being masculine and then combining them both to compliment each other giving it quite an interesting effect.

These are simply beautiful! I still have stickers stored away. There is something so magical about finding them years later and flipping through the collections. It's like a collection of vintage.
