This is what I worked on in between trick-or-treat knocks at our door. I do not want to think about how long this pumpkin carving project took me but…. I am pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. A new rendition of Andy Warhol’s ‘Self Portrait (Fright Wig)’, 1986 (on the left) executed in back [...]

If you are a westerner with a pulse you have most probably been in a Starbucks. With its over 11,000 stores in the US alone, Starbucks has grown to become the assumed go-to location when someone says, “let’s get a coffee”. In fact, they might even say ‘I want a Starbucks”. Very few brands can [...]
