Make art, not waste.

As a graphic designer I surround myself with art whether it be design, photography or paintings – I need color, type and inspiration around me constantly.

I find pieces of abandoned furniture all the time and take them home with me –  then I recreate them into art. I use everything from book pages, newspaper, paint, lacquer or whatever I can get my hands on. There are no rules…I make it up as I go.

So instead of going to a landfill, the furniture becomes a living, breathing piece of art. It’s important for me to channel my creativity in new ways and this is a different and very tactile approach.

I call this series the Taschen trio. I used the pages of a Taschen book to create these pieces.

The chairs were found near the corner of  Franklin Ave. and Wilcox St.
The table was found near Las Palmas Blvd. and Hollywood Blvd.

Thanks to whoever for throwing them out.
