a word I just recently learned I’ve been misspelling. While giving me more reason to spell-check everything twice, I’ve incidentally achieved the most secure password in the world. Though one of my finer accomplishments to date, I’ve done other stuff too.

Please enjoy this collection of blurred dichotomy between work and play.

Cheers.

THE BEANSTALK BANDITglorified storybook hero exposed

This project revisits a childhood favorite to question the morality of the supposed hero formerly known as Jack. My interpretation hunts down “The Beanstalk Bandit” through the use of missing posters around the city, a scavenger hunt mediated through a blog, and hidden stolen possessions in the form of stenciled graffiti art. As people play, the city becomes the storybook.
