Metz’d Up Volume No. 1
Published April 18, 2009 michael metz 3 CommentsTags: doodles, humor, sketches
Two straight weeks of production work gave me an itch to do something a bit more fun and interesting. I grabbed an Anthropologie catalogue I saw lying around, a few black pens and markers, and began bastardizing what was originally beautiful photography and clean design. For me, humor is an equally effective outlet for pent up creativity — so, inevitably the resulting work wreaks of my twisted sense of humor.
I had such a blast that I quickly gathered all the other catalogues laying around to produce future volumes. I don’t know how to categorize this — maybe simply sketches and funny thoughts is a solid description. Possibly more polished versions could be considered art or design — for now, I’ll call it fun. Try it for yourself — laughter is guaranteed.
Here are a few selects from METZ’D up Volume No.1.

First off, this is a horrible photo [will have to re-shoot]. Secondly, I’m considering this more of an attempt. I’m pleased about certain aspects… and frustrated by others… thought I’d share anyway.
