This backlit street poster is pretty cool. I really like th ediagrammatic aspects of it, as well as the suprised sewer rat. I especially like it because you can't really tell if it is telling you not to throw cigarette butts in the drain or not.

This is my new drawing style that I came up with that night. You drawing a couple of characters on top of each other and centered. It looks pretty tripadelic.

these maps have helped define the aesthetics of a wave of current graphic designers.see http://www.designersrepublic.com for examples. since these folks started mining these visual resources, innumerable copycats have taken to creating work with a similar aesthetic, not knowing the original inspiration.
