Following in the theme of Junk Culture, cigarettes are bad for you, just like internet addiction. These decks are filled with rolled posters that unravel to reveal photocopied images, taken predominantly from my Tumblr dashboard, and juxtaposed with screen printed, case insensitive, internet language.

After presenting my project to a former teacher, it was suggested that instead of using purely frivolous, junk images (cats, feet, hipsters, etc.), among all the junk should be one serious or interesting image (plane crash, drought, etc.) that puts our use of abbreviated, off hand, language into perspective. How does the term ‘omg’ encompass a response to tragedy?
