Things I have found lately:
I’ve been in North Carolina just under 2 years, and it has become quite clear to me that this state loves burritos! One of my favorite places to pick up a delicious burrito is called Carrburitos. Great name, too! Inside the restaurant is the “Art-O-Mat.” I’ve been thinking of posting it here […]

I love the forms the layered letters make.
One of my favorite resources in creating collages is a sheet of rub-on letters. In Providence I had a secret spot where I could go to get as much Letraset as I could afford. At first, it was in a small room towards the back of a downtown […]

The were the rules:
1.) 8in x 8in
