    The Four Icon Challenge is my attempt at visually summarizing my favorite books and movies using only, that’s right, four icons. Boiling a story down to four elements gave me a surprising amount of insight into the author’s message and intentions, as well as the role recurring objects play in storytelling.

    NYC-based artist Ryan McGinness is an internationally exhibited artist whose skate-punk aesthetic incorporates carefully rendered personal iconography, contemporary semiotics, and layered neo-baroque compositions. McGinness fuses art and design by incorporating historical, contemporary, and fantasy-inspired graphic vocabularies in his artworks.

    Ryan McGinness has always been a favorite of mine. The last time I saw his work was in 2009 at Deitch Projects in New York, where I was fortunate enough to meet the artist himself.

    If you have not been fortunate enough to see his work up close and personal, it’s something to definitely try and see. In the meantime, download a piece of his work to use for your desktop wallpaper. Be careful, you might end up spending too much time staring at your screen. You’ve been warned.
