The inspiration for this poster stemmed from

my younger days playing low resolution bitmpy
video games. Astronauts with guns instantly
gave me video game vibes and the typography
was very reminiscent of what I imagine the
90s to be.

The Art of
Christopher Dresser
March 01, 2004-
July 29, 2004
Finding inspiration in plants and their structures, which he determined were
geometrically balanced, Dresser took a radically scientific approach to art and
design. He believed that truth was founded in science and that art reflected
beauty. Knowledge, the manifestation of Truth and Beauty, as Dresser resolved, is
Power. However, rather than depicting plant forms in a naturalistic manner, he
followed the guidelines set by Owen Jones in The Grammar of Ornament that
“Flowers and other natural objects should not be used as ornaments, but conven-
tional representations …” Equally important, Dresser took from Jones the
precept that “All ornament should be based upon a geometrical construction”
(Proposition 8) whereby stylizing or abstracting the “source” ornament through
geometric reasoning removes all preconceived associations from the source and
thus creates pure ornament.

The gift bag idea came to me during a grim

week of rushing to finish final presentations
& bracing myself for finals week. it features
ambiguous dark quotes about smiles and
emotions.

This geometric dog-cat comes from my love for

dogs, geometric shapes, and tattoos.
