Streetspace: Digital Collage

June 12, 2012 by Iskra Leave a Comment

I have asked myself on occasion if it is crazy to be in love with parking lots. I still sing along with Joni Mitchel and I would never campaign to pave Paradise. But once Paradise is gone you look at what’s in its place. Two digital collages inspired by an as-yet undiscovered Best Parking Lot of Seattle (no cars! just space!)

The Street: Wayfinding Continued

A year ago I started a visual journal about wayfinding and my favorite of all street icons, the walking man. He has come back to haunt me along with other signs and symbols of the street like the Traffic Circle, for which I have created several much-needed re-designs.
