Always present but frequently forgotten, there exists a place on every main street leaving downtown; it is near the discount stores, pawn shops, and blank industrial buildings where things begin to fall apart.  It is here that you can see the decay of consumerism.  My work attempts to expose these places and to bring a new significance to them.  Using illustration, the buildings take on a new shape.  They’re flattened out and take on a new, but similar meaning.  These shops and buildings are still largely insignificant in our fast paced consumer world, but through illustration they receive a new treatment and significance in a completely foreign environment.
