Signs of the Times

As my hordes of adoring fans know I like to make art from unpromising subjects.

We all take road signs very seriously (obviously) so I thought its time to have some fun with them. Landscapes of Provence make me yawn… and just how many pictures of sunflowers can you look at without.. falling into a coma.

I want to tell you about the universal language of.. of..
..traffic management.

I reached a point where I thought.. “time to tidy up the edges” and then I thought.. naaa.. everyone does that.

During the research for this image I got caught on a speed camera and drove through a set of lights on red. I suspect it might be a short series.

    Oh My God… this is EXACTLY what driving in Lebanon is like on a good day…. They have been installing signal lights recently… but nobody seems to know (or care) the purpose! Love your take on road signs!

  • Andy Mercer replied

    Sounds like my kind of place !
    Driving in India is like the Wacky Races.. but on crammed roads.
