My graphic designs resemble subway maps. Perhaps they're a bit too familiar to the urban dweller, but I've always been fascinated by them. The way that they distill complexity down to a simple bold geometry is mesmerizing. I try to tell a story through each map, one that isn't immediately obvious at first glance. There's an element of surprise in my pieces that I hope makes viewers laugh (or cry – I'll take either) when they realize they aren't just looking at a subway map.
