The works I chose to show are actually pdfs of a friend of mine that I've posted on my blog here, since there were no direct links to them (they've been on my hard drive).

the small stakes studio is an abundant haven for tropes. i bought this poster last year after jamie showed me their website because i loved the books so much. The poster uses metonymy (cassette tapes are an index to their low-fi sound), metaphor (the idea: we are all connected through music), and possibly formal puns (the structure of half a cassette tape resembles that of our ears and brain).
I am not sure, but does this qualify as a Metonymy?
This is aParody I think.

politewinter is a site where James Jean and Kenichi Hoshine (both amazing illustrators and painters) are having a conversation by taking turns sending an illustration (with text) back and forth. Each turn is a response to the other - kind of what we are doing now?
This site hasn't been updated since 06' but non the less interesting.
