Such things as Google Maps and ‘The New Aesthetic‘ art movement prove a point: the internet is ‘externalizing’ and influencing the real world. Is it imposing itself on us?
I see this as more of a dialogue than a one-way street. I’ve been looking at ways to cram the real world *back* into comic format. It’s fun to see this play out in my public speaking, cartoons and writing. In addition to an arsenal of caricatures, I’m exploring using puppets (of myself and others) as a playful way to explore travel and identity.
