I started a series of collages called “Redacted Topographies”. Using work from my catalog and assembled by hand, each piece is a geographic survey onto itself, reconstructing a Los Angeles that is long gone. Here are surveys 001-003.

I see we’re talking about good Star Wars movies on here and I would just like to say that Rogue One is the best outside of the OG trilogy. The Last Jedi is a close second. And I don’t care what you think (hahahahahaha)!!!

The two biggest advantages Mamdani has are a soul and an art director. They allow him to execute a strategy that makes Dem leadership look as out of their depth as the obviously are.
