Heartache

Mixed Media Poem (Concrete): typography, distressed inks, stamp, washi tape, paper flower. 5×7. (c) JACK”E” 2018.

I initially wrote this poem with pen and paper. Then I decided to type it using over arching typography. I smudged/brushed distress inks (old paper and vintage photograph) over the text. I stamped an old car in the center of the tire tracks. Finally, I added a few strips of road washi tape and attached a paper flower. Voila!

I love how this looks like an ‘ol vintage print yet it has a slightly modern quaint feel with the flower and street tape. This piece is available in my shop.
