Inspiration

I wanted to create an old style flipping flight schedule that you would’ve seen in the old airports. I’m from Michigan and wanted to highlight the revival of Detroit. I used plastic magnets and filled them with bondo and glued them on with epoxy. To line them up was near to impossible…once you place the letter down it’s pretty much not moving. Fun but stressful piece.

This painting has inspired T-shirts and hoodies.

It also has been used to show gay pride.

Story
