Number 11 in the MPRSS_HRNT series hits critical mass and total perfection. It screams everything this series should be.

Blue and orange and complimentary color schemes are an easy go to for me. The disconnected type of “Fall Agenda” says it all. Aerin Lauder peeking out over the left eye, on her side, just right.

The bracket mimicking the moustache. OMFG the moustache! It rules and has just the right amount of gender bending and asks the penultimate question. What else is in the teaches of Peaches? Hmm? What?

The Greek key motif of the hairnet works the image perfectly. It fades in and out of her hair color seamlessly. Ghostlike, it adds that element of high-tech that I am striving for in these. A lovely, futuristic helmet.

I constantly get questions about whether these are Photoshop or real objects. They are hand cut images and although they are not single layer collages, they are real objects. Objects I am proud of showing. Things I am in shock to this day that I actually made myself. That I even was capable of imagining and executing.

So a big thanks to all of that. Thanks to whatever happened that gave me a mind to do anything other than being boring or complacent. And equal thanks to anyone who even took time to notice.
