  freck­les. with bandaids. yel­low = giraffe. the long straight lines mean giraffes. for sure. pre­ci­sion, bal­ance. the close ver­ti­cals on the left and the right then space in the mid­dle, turn side­ways and there is the close nexx in the mid­dle. this feel klunky, uncom­fort­able. tiny box. trust the process trust the process. the bandaid that catches my eye the most is the yel­low and grey one almost in the mid­dle to the left of cen­ter. the rest look like legos. a lego sage. the guy who invented legos saw this and had an aha. a kitchy repro­duc­tion of mon­dri­ans all done in legos. i am see­ing the his­tory of mod­ern art in fast for­ward from the amaz­ing pure moment of gei­nus that is broad­way boo­gie woo­gie up to the lego repro­duc­tion. bad? deval­ued? absolutely not. Thank you Piet for your unadul­ter­ated vision to give a fresh faced designer or a fresh faced kid the pure inspi­ra­tion to make something.
