Here’s some images from my book Obscene Interiors: Hardcore Amateur Decor. These are real online personal ad pictures posted by men. In my book I gray out their silhouette and comment on the interior design, or lack thereof,  they’re posing in.

Here’s some images from a print campaign for Lorgan’s, an Asian chain store dealing in retro furnishings. If campaign Executive Creative Director, Todd McCracken; Creative Director, Eric Yeo; or Art Director, Kat Tan care to respond to what I see as a blatant case of plagiarism (or at least severe unoriginality), please send me an email because I’m sad now.

These top three signs were hand made by friends who have an online business creating custom tiki bar signs (PariArts.com). But ohh look, a lazy designer for the JoAnn Fabrics stores decided to turn them in as his or her own, and now they’re selling them in stores. Bad. Legal action to follow…
