I love modern design, art, and photography. Growing up in a rust-belt Midwest town that had its heyday in the 1940-60's is a contributing factor. As a kid I liked Mad Magazine paperbacks more than the magazine. The paperbacks were by one artist so they were easier to read compared to the magazine with styles changing every few pages. Nearly all the cover art I make is from the 1940's-70's with simple 2D images and bold, flat colors.
