A blurry photograph of a person lighting a cigarette, with a dark, brick wall in the background. The image has a vintage feel with warm tones and visible grain, suggesting it may have been taken with film.
A close-up photograph of a translucent and reddish biological structure with multiple branching parts against a black background.
A photograph of two people on a beach, with the image cut in half and mismatched; the left side shows a shirtless man from the neck to the waist, and the right side shows a woman in a white t-shirt from the neck to the waist. The background features a clear sky and the ocean horizon. The photo has a white border with rough edges, suggesting it may be a Polaroid or printed photo.
Graphic artwork featuring a stylized blue ink sketch of a person's hand holding a mobile phone, with the phrase "Driving Yourself To Distraction" printed in bold, and a large blue silhouette of a phone keypad below. The bottom right includes text boxes with the title "CALL ME," project "STATIC," a date marked "11-00," draft number "100," and a signature with "31/100." The image has a rough, draft-like quality and is set against a white background with a black border framing the composition.
A colorful, circular board game with various symbols drawn on colored segments, surrounded by an assortment of buttons and beads on a black background. The central piece appears to be a metallic, pan-like object with two handles.
A pencil drawing of a bare tree branch with a detailed spider web in the background. The web has text written in concentric circles, starting from the center and spiraling outwards.
A graphic artwork resembling a vintage arcade game screen titled "Mal-O Saves Manhattan." The image features a grid of green, arcade-style capsules, each containing a different photo of a Starbucks Coffee shop. Above the grid, the title is written in a retro gaming font with a red outline. Below the grid, there are stylized illustrations of skyscrapers, a red starburst with a green alien figure in the center, and a red arcade cabinet at the bottom with a portrait of a person labeled "Mal-O." The phrase "25¢ Per Play" is prominently displayed at the bottom. The overall design mimics the layout of a classic arcade game, suggesting a playful, satirical take on the ubiquity of Starbucks in Manhattan.
A detailed line drawing of an intricate city map with a dense network of streets and blocks, presented in a monochromatic scheme. The artwork is signed and numbered at the bottom left corner.
