hydrant booster

I've started a collection of "hydrant booster" signs.. You know those fire hydrant boxes.. Often the words start to break down and dirt gets caught all over them, and they make interesting shapes. Here's one where I vectorised the words and other textures and placed them in MARCEL. True, it's not your usual collage with the rough street edges, and dulled down colours, but it's a different take.


I have to say though, this particular output is something I could have easily done myself in illustrator or photoshop. I've noticed that half the things I output are pretty average, 1/4 is total crap, like below,

(like what the hell is that?!)


and 1/4 is amazing stuff...


i heart marcel.
