How can we forget the scent of dolls? A smell of plastic mixed with vanilla, with an after-taster of Roberts talcum powder, that enchanted you at the first encounter. You felt you could eat them. Now, years later, you find the same faces here. They look at you with the same big eyes. They talk, laugh, dance and joke….like children. Because that’s what they are.

Children we ask too much of, to be perfect, like dolls. Children who have become sons and daughters of perfection, pretence and image, manipulated by the media and the social context and who are inevitably losing their naturalness.

I created Richmond, Virginia’s culture publication RVA Magazine and brought the first Richmond Mural Project to town. Designed the first brand for the Richmond’s First Fridays Artwalk and promoted the citywide “RVA” brand before the city adopted it as the official moniker. I threw a bunch of parties. Printed a lot of magazines. Met so many fantastic people in the process. Professional work: www.majormajor.me
