This ongoing series was begun at a time when I was studio-less and needed a small, cheap desk size project. I had this pile of old postage stamps and decided to pull them out and attempt some tiny collages. Later I bought a letterpress and added the faint areas of type. People are surprised when I tell them the titles came last. Fifteen of the pieces were complete and I needed titles and some way to decide on the text I was to print. I grabbed "The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy" off my book shelf. For each one I chose an idiom as the text and a proverb as a title.

Available for $200 each (except It Takes Two to Tango, Scouts Honor, Let Sleeping Dogs Lie, When It Rains It Pours)
