Words On Wheels Poster

Baltimore Metro, Baltimore City Schools and MICA have a project they do every year where Baltimore City students, in elementary and middle school, write poems that are illustrated by MICA students and then winning images are chosen and put into Baltimore city buses!
I'm working on this project in my Illustration class this week with Whitney Sherman.
I have a poem called School Lunch, so I went to the store and bought a bunch of condiments, ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish, jam, and even tater tots and chips, and wrote the entire poem using realy elements and then photographing them.

I had to write the poem on my friend's roof in ketchup

My Inspirations

I thought it might be nice to show some images of artist's work that I continually reference and look at.
Just a reminder: This is NOT my work, just work I love looking at.

Ophiucus

Hey guys, did you hear about this? somebody discovered a 13th star sign, that somehow got lost up in the sky when they made the first 12th. Sounds like a pretty big deal for people who follow their horoscope.
So here's the new guy! His name is Ophiucus, and he's the only star sign that includes a human! er, old man. Anyway, here's my interpretation.
